This last weekend, Rich and I participated in the annual Clinton Easter Egg Hunt. This has been going on for close to 20 years, and as I handed out prizes I heard a mom comment that she came to this event when she was a child.
No one did a formal count, but there were certainly hundreds of people – adults with their children – that participated.
This event could not occur with out strong leadership (this year, Kathy Craven of Craven Insurance), lots of volunteers and contributions from the business community.
I particularly noticed prizes from five Clinton businesses:
I did an informal check with the business owners, and, not surprisingly, learned that when a parent came in to get a child’s prize, other purchases were usually made.
How great to contribute to a wonderful community event and build business at the same time!
