A community tradition for over 45 years, the Franconia Men sponsor our annual Easter Egg hunt, an event that has only been moved indoors ONCE because of rain. But in 2007...we had snow! An inch of snow covered the field behind the church, so the hunt was moved to the blacktop. The kids didn't seem to mind one bit - there were plenty of eggs for everyone to find.
 
Children ages 2 to 6th grade are invited to participate in the event, which is broken down by age group to make the hunt fair for all involved. Click on each thumbnail photo and it will appear in full size in a separate window.
