Youngsters scoop up 10,000 Easter eggs in a matter of minutes

April 6, 2009 |

Gone in a flash… 10,000 Easter eggs were scooped up in a flash by happy, high energy youngsters Sunday afternoon in the city’s first annual Easter Egg Hunt. The event, held in Heritage Park, took advantage of 70+ temps and warm midday sun, drawing to a close before predicted storms rolled through later in the day.

Across the field, four quadrants were staked out, each one loaded with eggs and “super eggs” — the latter being the prize-winning eggs. Youngsters were categorized by age, with the youngest being offered the first chance at collecting eggs in their designated area. «Read the rest of this article»

Wind shears top off city Christmas tree

December 22, 2008 |

Recent high winds wreaked havoc on home decorations, whipped loose branches off trees, and also toppled the top of the city’s elegant Christmas tree on Public Square.

The stately tree, festooned in an elaborate and sumptuous garland of ornaments and lights,  graced the city’s downtown district and has been a focal point for  holiday celebrations.

Today, the tree sits humbled on Public Square, its dramatic height sheared in half, pared down  to a flat- topped  stump of what it was just a few days ago. A tangle of wires spill down one side.
