Weird Weather

At the risk of sounding like Skip Foster's brother with talk about weather and such, I'm surely impressed with the cold temperatures this morning! It's enough to test a fellow's faith in the inevitable return of Spring. Or maybe it came along to remind us not to be lulled into taking spring for granted. All sense of complacency froze and fell right off my back this morning when I stepped out the door.

But the beautiful weather on Saturday was a real pleasure for all of us at Uptown Shelby. Several great volunteers (including Boy Scouts from Troop 101) helped roping off areas, hiding 7000 colored easter eggs with candy or toy prizes, and helping to manage hundreds of children and parents on hand for the spectacle.

Thanks go to our sponsors: Kidsville News, Pleasant City Wood Fired Grill, First National Bank, Victoria-Stephen, Shelby Savings Bank, Cleveland Headline News, Child Care Connections, and Buffalo Creek Gallery. And our special prizes in the metallic eggs were provided by Arnold's Jewelry, Christine's Baskets and Gifts, and Shelby Ice Cream and Deli.

The Easter Bunny (ahem!) was joined by Scoop Dog from Channel 33, and the huggable Dragon from Kidsville News. Lots of pictures, lots of fun. And it was all over in an hour! Happy Easter, everyone!
