DETROIT, Mich.—March 17 marked the third annual Easter egg hunt hosted by the Detroit Armenian Relief Society (ARS) “Zabel” Chapter. Although chilly weather and snow on the ground forced the hunt indoors, 50 children between the ages of 2-12 participated in the hunt.
Two thousand brightly colored plastic eggs filled with assorted candies were strewn over the floor of the Armenian Community Center, including 12 golden eggs. The children raced to collect as many candy-filled eggs as their baskets could hold. The lucky finders of the golden eggs received an Easter basket filled with games, toys, and more candy.
Following the hunt, the children were greeted by the Easter Bunny who made a special trip to the Armenian Community Center to meet and take photographs with the children. The afternoon ended with each child leaving with a box of more goodies and games to play with at home.
