Kids Easter party in Arden

Close to 30 youngsters attended the annual Easter Party on April 4 at the Kennebec hall in Arden. The event was organized by members of the Kennebec Recreation Committee, who had their Easter ears on especially for the event. The children, who were accompanied by their parents, enjoyed a free lunch and home made cookies and chocolate cupcakes and took part in a number of games including bean bag toss, Crokinole and more. Numerous Easter themed craft activities that included beading, bracelet making, and a special party bag craft were enjoyed by the youngsters. Wanda Harrison, chair of the Kennebec Recreation Committee, said that the annual event encourages members of the community to “come out on the holiday weekend, meet and socialize with one another while giving us a chance to do meet them as well.” Ten volunteers helped put on the event that continues to be a highlight of the holiday weekend for young and old alike.
