Easter Egg Hunt Held at Calais Free Library

By Lura Jackson Children in the Calais area were treated to a number of festivities over the Easter weekend, including egg hunts held at the Fire Station and at the Calais Free Library. PCT Communica- tions sponsored the CFL event, which attracted upwards of 150 children within the first hour. Each child was shepherded into the upstairs section of the library, where numerous plastic eggs had been hidden by volunteers. Upon securing five eggs, the children could turn in their booty for bounty in the form of a treat bag from the downstairs desk. The treat bags contained an assortment of prizes including stickers, chocolates, Starbursts or Skittles, and bouncy balls. The event was the idea of Crystal Brennan, sales associate for PCT Communications. “We’ve been trying to plan public events in the community to promote US Cellular. We wanted to involve children and help to promote literacy at the same time,” Brennan said. Head librarian Kathleen Staples said that the event was a great success and that she appreci- ated PCT Communications approaching her Decovan and Baylee were among the delighted participants with the suggestion. at the Easter egg hunt held at the Calais Free Library on PCT will be holding another public event April 4th.
