Saturday March 26th, 2016 was the 6th Annual Easter Egg Hunt hosted by the United Way/Chestermere Partnership at Lakeside Golf Club. This annual fundraising event saw over 340 children hunting for eggs during three different hunt times which they were able to exchange for gifts and treats. Saturday’s event raised just over $2,000 which will remain in Chestermere for distribution by the United Way/Chestermere Partnership.
