104.7 KCLD
(KNSI) – A St. Cloud Easter tradition is back after a one-year hiatus due to the pandemic.
The 45th annual 104.7 KCLD Easter Egg Hunt is Saturday at 10 a.m. at the Waite Park Babe Ruth Baseball Complex in River’s Edge Park.
KCLD’s JJ Holiday says because of COVID concerns, the event will be drive-thru only.
“This year obviously still a situation, and we wanted to make sure we could do something for the kids and have it be safe. So, we came up with a drive-thru situation. And we’re gonna be able to do it without any risk to anybody.”

(KNSI) – A local adopt a family program was a smashing success for 2020.
Executive Director for Catholic Charities of the Diocese of St. Cloud Steve Pareja says their Share the Spirit Program came down to the wire, but, thanks to an outpouring of generosity, help came through.
“We had over a dozen families that still needed to be sponsored. And I really was trying to get the word out that there are families in this area that still were in need to have a good Christmas and we spoke that morning. I think it was in the 8:00 hour, and by noon, over half of those families had already received the sponsorship. By the next morning [it was] all of them.”
