Easter Weekend a Blessing

Brooks County—This past weekend many throughout Brooks County, Georgia celebrated Easter with family, friends, and in church. Local churches and cities hosted several spring festivities as well as community Easter egg hunts.

Pavo Hardware celebrated by hosting a night Easter egg hunt at the Pavo Community Center the weekend before, April 1, 2023 and had food vendors for supper. Kids from the community as well as surrounding areas all attended, making this year’s night Easter Egg Hunt a successful turnout once again for the second year. Pavo Hardware wants to thank all who help sponsor this event with their donations and time.

Boston, Ga held their 33^rd Annual Spring Fling and Auction with their Community Easter Egg hunt on April 8, 2023. Several residents and community members as well as those from surrounding communities swarmed to this event despite the rather cold windy and rainy weather. Boston’s vendors included several food vendors, local firefighters’ charity BBQ, real estate agents, toy makers, Thomasville Humane Society with two cute puppies for adoption, and not to leave out the children an animal petting area. Children ran to pet the two rabbits, baby goats and chicken. Children gathered around two areas for their egg hunt and many happy smiles as eggs were found and gathered. The Easter bunny even made a few appearances to take pictures with the little ones.

Barwick, Ga community also hosted an Easter Egg hunt in the park and served all the children hotdogs, chips and drinks. Children ranging from 1 to 5 took off to gather the abundance of eggs lying on the ground and squealed with laughter as they found goodies inside. Older children took off in another direction in the park just as happy and gleeful to find their eggs and their prizes inside.

Churches throughout Brooks County held an Easter Egg hunt for the children as well. Many churches held their own and the weekend prior to this past Easter weekend.

As Easter Sunday rolled around, families gathered in their church to celebrate. Families also gathered together to celebrate with egg hunting, prayers, and good food.

Families shared their joy of the day throughout various social media as well. Easter for many may have been slightly cold here in the South but for those who celebrated it, that day meant hope.



Hope all had a wonderful and happy Easter in 2023.
