EDC directors outline business spotlights, promotions and large Easter egg hunt with special‑needs accommodations
Summary
EDC directors reported on local business spotlights and promotions including a business bingo, a luncheon of six businesses, ribbon‑cutting photo opportunities and a March 28 Easter egg hunt at the park with four age groups plus a special‑needs group; directors discussed logistics, volunteer support and egg‑stuffing events.
EDC directors used their monthly report to highlight local small‑business promotions and community events and to request logistical support for upcoming activities.
Directors described a business‑spotlight effort at a boutique on 174, a running 'business bingo' promotion that requires purchases at participating businesses to collect stamps and enter a raffle for a gift basket (estimated value near $500–$600), and a planned luncheon for six local businesses. Directors also discussed taking photos at ribbon cuttings and using those images in promotional material.
For spring activities, the EDC announced a large Easter egg hunt scheduled for March 28 at the park. The event will use baseball fields to separate four age groups and will include a dedicated special‑needs group with sensory toys and non‑candy items. Directors said they will solicit volunteers and partner groups for egg‑stuffing and distribution; they mentioned outreach to school and church groups and a plan to coordinate donated candy and eggs with local partners.
Directors asked staff to coordinate invitations, collect photos from recent events for the community guide and report back to the board on logistics and volunteer plans.
