Well another Easter has come and gone and with it The Cascade Community Credit Union Easter egg Hunt. If you missed the event this past Saturday you missed a wonderful family event. Watching the kids with their big eyes as they gaze on 10,000 eggs is truely heart warming. If you would like to see pictures from the day just go to Pics and Promotions.
A giant thank you is in order. Our incredible sponsors make it possible for this event to happen every year. Cascade Community Credit Union, Bi-Mart, Pepsi and Umpqua Dairy. Also a big thanks to our Promotions Director, Laura Studebaker along with Sgt. Todd Pade and his Air force recruits for stuffing over 10,000 Easter eggs. In a perfect world the Easter Bunny would stuff the eggs himself but due to contractual binds, our staff had to take care of the job. I hate it when lawyers get involved.
Overall the day was a big success. There were tons of happy kids and parents with great pictures. But one issue surfaced that left a black mark on the event. During our clean up patrol (yes the BCI team cleans the park up after the event to keep it looking good) we found disturbing evidence of nicotine use in the four and five year olds. Yes, in the four and five year old section we found and cleaned up a big pile of cigarette butts. Knowing that an adult would know better than behave in such a disrespectful matter, we can only surmise that the four and five year olds were smoking like chimneys. What’s next? Will they be cursing like sailors? Partying like rock stars? Where does it end and how do we deal with the problem of four year olds smoking? Do they make itty bitty patches?
There is one other question to ponder. What was the gateway drug that led to this smoking pandemic in the four and five year olds? Milk? Apple juice? Those cute little juice boxes? And do you think the Easter Bunny is in on it? Could he be the supplier?
Questions, I have many questions.
