 A weekend snowstorm did not stop the City of Nevis from having their annual Easter egg hunt. Reporter Cheryl Moore has details for this week's community spotlight. Mother Nature gave Northern Minnesota a pretty unfortunate forecast of low temperatures and chilling winds this past holiday weekend. While many chose to cancel Easter festivities, the City of Nevis said bring it on. We started the Easter egg hunt 15 years ago with just a thousand eggs. We've grown that to over 10,000 eggs. We give away 40 bicycles we also have over a thousand prizes that we give away. The egg hunt was started by the Halak family but it couldn't be as big as it is today without a little help. Exactly 20 volunteers also braved the snow to put the eggs out not to mention the ones who helped stuff the eggs beforehand. Local businesses also donated all the prizes. It is sponsored by the Nevis CNC and the Nevis Fire Department and that's quite important because without them we could not have this event. Over the years the Nevis egg hunt has become a staple in the community so canceling it was simply out of the question. One of the reasons it was started in the first place is because there was no other event like it in the area. Florida is where we came from and we came up here and started a small hunt and it's grown into this big event. It's super exciting to watch these kids come through and sweep through and pick up the eggs it's over a matter of three minutes and it's just a wonderful time. In sunshine rain or snow the Nevis egg hunt has never been canceled and even with the chilly weather conditions it still sees about 1,000 kids. It's been the most snow we've ever had during an egg hunt and we've had snow one other year but not as much in as cold as it is today. One important thing for the Halleck family was making sure the kids had a good time and the ones who took the time to speak with Lake Lanuse said they did. Some of them even vowed to come back no matter the weather. We just want to say thank you to Nevis and we had a lot of fun. I had really fun today and it was awesome. I'm kind of disappointed that I didn't get a bike but I'll probably get one next year. It's a little too early to tell what the forecast will be for next year but we're going to just say no matter what it is the Saturday before Easter will always be home to the Nevis egg hunt. Our true enjoyment out of it is the smiles we see from each and every child. I mean that's the enjoyment that we get out of it. Reporting in Nevis with this week's community spotlight Lake Lanuse.
