 With a winter storm expected to hit the Bemidji area this weekend, RP Broadcasting has decided to cancel the annual Easter egg hunt. This would have been their 19th year for the egg hunt. There's usually between 800 to 1,000 kids that participate each year. Now you may be wondering what the radio station plans to do with the 6,000 candy filled eggs they've already stuffed. They say they haven't really thought about it yet, but many of them may give them out at upcoming community events. It's the Northwest winds that are going to be gusting, just not conducive to having little kids out, waiting, because it's just a really cool event, but people will stand in line and it usually takes a little while, so unfortunately we are all super sad here at RP Broadcasting. We had to cancel this year. Only ever happened once, other time, and again that was when Easter was in March. Now the event also gives out free bikes, but RP Broadcasting says they'll plan to save those bikes for next year's egg hunt.
