Families gathered in Taft on Saturday for a city-wide Easter egg hunt, organized by Pastor Steve Boettcher of Open Fields Assembly of God church.
The event, designed to bring the community together, centered around the symbolic meaning of the egg in relation to the Easter story.
In planning the event, Boettcher aimed to create a family-friendly experience. “There wasn’t anything being done in Taft, and I wanted to do something that was family-oriented. Yes, this is about the kids, but it’s also bringing families together to hunt for an egg,” he said…
