Twenty-two little ones had a ball at the Highway 24/Interlakes Lions Easter party at the Interlakes Community Centre (ICC) on March 26.
As well as games and goodies, the children tried their luck at the guessing how many jelly beans were in the candy jar. It held 199 jelly beans and Sierra Purdy won with a guess of 198.
Organizer Carolyn Charlton says it was lovely to see all the little girls dressed in their Easter finest, and see many of the youth who used to be partygoers came to help out.
