Easter Candy Hunt

THE CHRONICLE
Overcast skies threatening rain couldn't dampen the fun
last Thursday at the Carl H. Russell Sr. Community Center.
For the first time, the Center was forced to move its annu
al Community Easter Candy Hunt indoors. Hundreds of
pieces of candy were scattered around the Center's gym
floor. Mixed in with the sweet treats were multi-colored and
gold plastic eggs containing little pieces of paper bearing the
names of special prizes.
The gym offered few places to hide candy and prize eggs,
but that was just fine with the kids, who scooped up goodies
by the handful. Phillip Singletary helped his 3-year-old
daughter Ja'Meria find goodies. It was Ja'Meria's first Easter
egg hunt so dad gave her a hunting crash course.
/'The way I told her to get it, I was just like 'pick up
everything you see, all the colors, everything you see out
there is yours,"' said Singletary, who was impressed with the
Center's event and plans to bring his daughter back next year.
