Kimball area’s Easter Egg-Stravaganza was a success on Saturday, April 8, inside the Kimball Area High School. More than 300 people enjoyed an Easter Carnival with inflatables, carnival games, raffle basket prizes, music, coloring Easter pictures, and posing for photos with the Easter Bunny.
The Family Fun Run that was supposed to take place on the track outside turned into a one-lap Family Walk/Hop/Skip inside the high school. Stella Wills (1st grade), Elowyn Stork (PreK), and Sadie Kujawa (PreK) were some of the top finishers in the Birth-5 competition. The older group of racers (ages 6-11) was represented by back-to-back first-place finisher Bo Meyer (4th grade). Evan -Molitor (6th grade) was the -runner-up followed by Carrine Stang (4th grade) in third place.
After the race, more than 150 children took part in the Kimball Easter Egg Hunt in the Cafetorium and the North Gym. The Easter Bunny and children enjoyed collecting more than 1,500 eggs.
