FROM PAGE 1A EASTER of children stampeded onto the field. Each child grabbed colorful plastic eggs to fill the baskets they grasped tightly in their hands. Gloria Tomczewski, Family and MWR recreation specialist, said there were an estimated 3,000 children at the event and about 1,000 parents. “It went very well —Ithink all the kids were very happy,” Tomczewski said. Two costumed Easter bunny characters brought buckets of eggs to spread out on the field prior to each of the age-specific dashes. Children and parents waited outside the roped-off area or wandered through vendor booths on the sidelines, until their age category was called. Exceptional Family Member Program children and parents went first, providing an opportu- nity for kids needing alittle help on the field to fill their baskets with ease. Three-year-old Emberlynne Taylor and her 23-month-old SCOTTHANSEN Northwest Guardian brother, Anthony, sat in ared Sisters Victoria, 8, andDanielle Aguilar,4,ofRoy,pose with the Easter Bunnyduring the annual JBLM Easter Dash on Lewis Main Saturday. wagon and watched with their mom, Emily Taylor, as the first group collected eggs.
