SEELEY LAKE - Seeley Lake Lions Club is inviting local families to celebrate Easter at Seeley Lake Elementary School by picking up a basket at the Easter Hop-n-Bop. The event will begin at 1 p.m. Saturday, April 3 and will end at roughly 2:30 p.m.
Children will be able to pick up an Easter basket from one of four stations based on their age: 0-3, 4-6, 7-9 and 10-12. No signup is required. Lions Club Secretary Cheryl Lewis said they intend to give away over 200 baskets full of candy, small toys or trinkets.
Every basket will contain a plastic egg. Inside of each egg will either be a real dollar coin or a prize slip. Prize slips can be redeemed at a separate station. Prizes will be claimed on a first-come, first-served basis.
Lewis was not sure exactly how long the Club has hosted an Easter egg event but she believes it could be at least 20 years. This is the first time they have altered the event’s format. Last year they canceled it altogether due to COVID-19.
“We just felt that since Missoula County is not as open as other counties, we wanted to play it a little safe and not encourage a large, unregulated gathering,” Lewis said in an email. “This way foot traffic can be controlled by following the Missoula County Health Department guidelines. … Not as fun as an Easter Egg hunt but at least we’re doing something for the kids.”
