An “egg-cellent” day for community hunt

  • Hazel Schroeder plucks another candy-filled egg from the David Jost Memorial ball field, the designated zone for the youngest of the Easter egg hunters. Schroeder’s dad, Wessington Springs Volunteer Fire Department Chief, Eric, looks on as she happily fills her basket. Just moments after this photo was taken, the fire whistle blew, sending firemen to forego the festivities and don their bunker gear.

    An “egg-cellent” day for community hunt

    Just as the Annual Easter Egg Hunt is a beloved community tradition, the group photo taken for the True Dakotan before kids scamper off in search of eggs is a custom that goes back many decades. Abundant sunshine and mild temperatures drew over 75 children to the park to hunt for 1200 eggs stuffed and hidden by the Jerauld County 4-H Club.
