THE GOLDEN EGG IS LOST! It seems the golden egg hidden before Easter has been lost, whether the wind blew it away or a pesky varmit stole it we don’t know, but it’s nowhere to be found. A May Day promotion is planned for the prizes donated for the Golden Egg Scavenger Hunt. Thanks to all who participated in both the Silver and the Gold egg promo’s! We’ll put together another fun one for the May Day promo and we’ll keep you posted as details become available.
