Hollywood Senior Easter Egg Hunt
By Ernie TigerHOLLYWOOD - Seniors gathered at the newly constructed Hot Meals building on the Hollywood reservation to enjoy a variety of festivities provided by Hollywood Representative, and event sponsor, Max Osceola. Participants in the games started off the morning with an egg-hunting contest. Egg hunters lined up on the Seminole Baseball field to race against each other in the pursuit to grab as many eggs as possible within the time limit.
The hunt was followed by a very interesting Easter egg and bonnet hat contest, where male and female participants designed hats that depicted their own artistic rendition of Easter. The hats that were constructed for the contest ranged from the eye-catching to the elaborate. The winners were decided by who constructed the most elaborate and artistic hat. Spectators who did not design hats watched the artists with amusement as they modeled their hats to the judges. The seniors also participated in two more prize-awarding contests, before closing the day with a delicious gourmet meal prepared by Hot Meal staff.
To add to the morning’s artistic celebration, an egg design contest was also included into the curriculum that morning. The artists once again used their abilities to decorate hard-boiled eggs into interesting icons.
Some of the eggs resembled small human-like figures, ranging from Elvis Presley to a Las Vegas Dancer. Attendees who did not participate in the morning’s contests were not left out. They were entered into the morning’s fun with a drawing where everyone got a chance to collect door prizes that were donated by local Anhinga Indian Trading Post owner Virginia Osceola and Max Osceola, Jr., which included traditional skirts, shirts and blankets.
A special thanks goes to Vivian Delgado for coordinating the event.
