A free gala Easter egg hunt plus games, prizes and hunting tips for youth are on the slate for the annual Clark Spring Ding on Saturday, April 4 from 2-4 p.m. at the Clark Pioneer Recreation Center.

All proceeds from the festive event will benefit the Rec Center, according to overseer Shirley Bentley. Participants need to bring their own baskets. With six age groups for kids 12 and younger, the hunt will involve plastic orbs of many colors. And 600 of the spheres, all containing candy, will be placed with 40 per 100 also containing prize tabs that can be claimed at a prize table.

For approximately the fifth consecutive year, said Bentley, Polestar-Outdoors, of Cody, will offer free lessons via an indoor archery and BB gun shooting range for youth 8 to 18. The Christian organization works to connect youth with nature while teaching outdoor skills, conservation practices and values through mentoring, its website states.

Activities also will include $1 per person baked goods walks for all ages. There will be a free craft table for kids who want to try their hand making Easter-themed items using stickers, straws and foam.

Games organized by Nancy Woolard will each have a $1 fee per child. There will be skill contests such as an egg launch, a carrot patch matching event, a feed the chicks (green pipe stems and fake chickens) contest plus a bean bag bunny fun time.

Refreshments including cookies from community members, coffee and lemonade will be provided during the festivities. Tickets for a raffle of baskets filled with various products will be available. The prizes are provided through the generosity of Canyon Real Estate and the Cody Walmart, said Woolard and Bentley.
