Two Easter-themed events brought families together in Minden on Sunday, April 6, as local organizations hosted community celebrations despite recent rain.
Diamonds and Pearls Social Club held an Easter Family Funday at Victory Park. The event featured games and activities, food, a visit from the Easter Bunny, and an Easter egg hunt. Children enjoyed the festivities despite soggy grounds left by thunderstorms the day and night before.
At Babb’s Park, the Young Women’s Service Club adapted its Easter Bash to a drive-thru format due to wet conditions. Families drove through to receive goodie bags filled with Easter eggs and treats, hot food, and the opportunity to register for a bike raffle. Members of the Youth Challenge Program assisted by handing out bags and delivering food to vehicles.
Organizers reported strong attendance at both events, with families turning out to celebrate Easter and enjoy the community spirit.
