IGH Parks and Rec Easter Egg Hunt

EasterEggHuntOn Saturday, March 23rd we participated in the Inver Grove Heights Parks & Recreation Egg Hunt sponsored by Heartland Credit Union.  The fields at the Rich Valley Athletic Complex were still covered in snow.  It seemed a little backwards that we did the Candy Cane Hunt in the rain and now the Egg Hunt in the snow.  It was all good though.  The sun was shining and the eggs looked bright and colorful against the white snow.  There were lots of kids and tons of eggs for them to find!  To add to the fun, Kassi (our Queen) started the wave while the kids waited for the egg hunt to begin.  But there was a little confusion when she used the word “go” for the wave.  Some of the kids thought she meant to go collect the eggs and took off running.  Oops!  Oh well, it did add to the excitement and it was kind of funny.  It was a really fun event and we enjoyed cheering on the egg hunters!

2013 Food Allergy Walk

2013-FoodAllergyWalkOn March 23rd, 2013, the Inver Grove Heights Royalty volunteered at the Food Allergy Awareness Walk at the Mall of America. We were excited to cheer people on as they walked for this cause. The money raised during the fundraising walk will help AFAA (Anaphylaxis and Food Allergy Association of Minnesota) continue the mission to educate, advocate, and support those with life-threatening food allergies. Since its inception in 2001, AFAA has been on a shoestring budget and run entirely by volunteers. It was great to see how many people of all ages supported the cause!
