Community Easter Egg Hunt planned at Morse Park in Neosho

(From the City of Neosho)

A community-wide Easter egg hunt is planned for 1 pm Saturday April 15 at Morse Park North for toddlers through age thirteen. Morse Park North is located across from Neosho’s largest flower box on College Street and Business 60 highway.

Over ten thousand plastic eggs are ready for egg hunts with various age groups, and children are asked to bring their own Easter baskets. There will be candy, prizes, inflatable bouncy-houses for the kids on the playground, face painting, popcorn, snow cones, hot dogs, and more.

This is the fourth year the Gospel Lighthouse Church has sponsored the Easter Eggstravaganza event for the community, which is being held in partnership with the City of Neosho. “The number of kids participating each year continues to grow, and we are very appreciative of the assistance by the City Public Relations Director and Parks and Recreation Department in getting things ready for a fun day in the park,” event coordinator Lana Henry stated.

The Neosho Help Center will have free eggs for distribution, as well. A volunteer ministry of the Gospel Lighthouse, the Help Center food pantry provides food distribution to over 10,000 families each year. Community sponsors include Kohl’s, Opal Foods, Talbot, Robbins Construction, New-Mac, First Lutheran Church, Teen Challenge of the Four States, and others.
