Sisters Easter Egg Hunt is a soggy success

A soft spring rain didn’t deter Easter Egg hunters in Sisters on Sunday.

Children came from all around the region — and some visited from out of state — to scour Creekside City Park and Sisters Overnight Park for some 4,000 plastic Easter Eggs in an event sponsored by the Sisters-Camp Sherman Fire and Ambulance association and the fire department.

At the signal of a siren from Fire Chief Tay Robertson’s command vehicle, hundreds of children up to 11 years old sprinted — and slid — across the soggy grass to snap up the eggs. As always, it was over in moments.

Infant to two years:

First prize — Taitem Jensen, Redmond.

Second prize — Anessa Stotts, Sisters.
