Easter is just around the corner and several Atchison County Easter event organizers are asking the public for donations to help make their events a success.
Pleasant View Nursing Home in Rock Port will be providing Easter baskets again this year. They are asking the community to donate Easter eggs or candy. All the proceeds earned from the sale of the baskets go to the Resident Activity Fund, which is used for trips, activities, and other things the residents do throughout the year. Please bring all donations to the nursing home, located at 470 Rainbow Drive, by April 11.
New Horizons will be hosting the Rock Port Community Easter Egg Hunt at the city park Saturday, April 12. Pictures with the Easter Bunny will be from 9:30-9:55 a.m. and the hunt will start promptly at 10:00 a.m. (arrive early). Age categories include: 2 & Under, 3 through Preschool, Kindergarten/1st Grade, 2nd Grade/3rd Grade, and 4th Grade/5th Grade. (No donations needed.)
