Hop to it
The first event of the year for Sumpter Township Parks and Recreation was a huge success last Saturday, despite the cold temperatures, organizers noted. An estimated 250 to 300 children, at right, participated in the Easter Egg Hunt at Graham Park. Rumor has it that Township Manager Ken Marten may have been inside the Flop -E- Bunny costume having photos taken with the children.
