Pincher Creek Co-op held their 4th annual Easter Egg Hunt in the Co-op grocery store on the evening of March 24, 2013. Kids holding their baskets and bags gathered around the store entrance to visit with Cooper the mascot and wait for their turn to hunt for candy. Organizers allowed 12 kids in the store at a time, going from the youngest age groups to the older kids.

The event has been steadily growing, attracting close to 120 children this year. The kids all seemed to have a great time at this sweet event. They really cleaned up, taking home over 50 pounds of chocolates and approximately 1,000 packages of gum.
