After two years, the Clearwater Fire Department’s Easter egg hunt returned.
About 100 kids were welcomed at the fire hall on Friday, April 15, by excited members of the CFD. The team had prepared over the previous days, hiding chocolates and other sweets around the hall, on the trucks and inside.
“We enjoyed reconnecting with the community and seeing all the happy, excited faces.”
Families got a visit from the Easter Bunny who was handing out candy rings and goodie bags before the event, and a story was performed by local librarian Kaylea Prime.
