ST. JOHNSVILLE The H.C. Smith Benefit Club welcomed the community back in full force Saturday for its 11th Annual Easter Egg Hunt, the facility’s first large event since COVID-19 forced its closure over a year ago.
With COVID-19 still being a consideration, this year’s egg hunt looked slightly different from previous ones. When packing the colorful plastic Easter eggs with candy on Saturday morning prior to the event, volunteers including about 15 students from the Oppenheim-Ephratah-St. Johnsville Jr./Sr. High School wore masks and remained socially distanced.
