The Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indi- an Community hosted its annual Easter Egg Hunt celebration on April 19 at the Salt River Ballfield. Four separate egg hunts were available for children ages 2-3, 4-6, 7-9, and 10-14. Participants raced for goodies and plastic eggs that were scattered across the outfield of the ballfield along with the Von Hayes Field while attempting to locate special golden eggs. Those that found the golden eggs could trade it for prize.

There was no worry if you didn’t find the golden egg. Plenty of opportunities to win special prizes were avail- able by participating in field games and an Easter Dress Parade, judged by Miss Salt River Sialik King and Jr. Miss Salt River 1st Attendant Tiare Begay-Smith.

Photo opportunities with the Easter Bunny were available and a petting zoo along with a bubble station were also available for little ones to enjoy. Last on the agenda was an adult egg eating contest where participants raced each other to see who could eat 10 hard- boiled eggs the fastest. The winner, Vincent Ramierz, received a $200 gift card to Harkins Theatre by beating two-time winner Derrick Osif.
