Egg hunt a no-go

-

After 41 years, the annual Easter egg hunt at the Campbell Community Center has been put on hold.

“The Eggstravag­anza Easter Egg Hunt is an event produced by the Campbell Kiwanis Club and was spearheade­d by one person, J.R. Mckee, whose community contributi­ons to the Campbell area community runs a mile long,” reads a post on the Downtown Campbell Business Associatio­n's website. “He made that Easter egg hunt happen for many of its 41 years, and he decided that last year's hunt would be his last.

“The Campbell Kiwanis Club and their friends haven't found anyone to keep the event going so there won't be an egg hunt this year, but there are conversati­ons happening to explore possibilit­ies of bringing the event back next year.”
