Easter fun at the American Legion

Date:

On Sunday, the Garretson American Legion Post #23 held a community breakfast in conjunction with an Easter celebration, which included a visit from the Easter Bunny.

Several activities for young children were available, with helium-filled balloons provided courtesy of CHS, the chance to pet a real bunny named Brandy, an easter egg hunt, coloring sheets, and more. 

Children were also encouraged to enter for a chance to win an easter basket with goodies or one of two bikes that were being given away by the Post #23 Auxiliary. The baskets were won by Ellie and Paisley, and the bikes were won by Maverick and Anna. Congratulations!

Turnout to the event was high, with community members enjoying watching the children play while they ate a wonderful breakfast of pancakes and biscuits and gravy.

On Facebook, the Legion stated, "We are honored to be part of the Garretson Community.  Thank you to all the Legion and Auxiliary members who helped make this such a wonderful event." -photos by Leif Moritz
