Over 50 children and their families enjoyed a morning of Easter activities on Saturday, March 30 hosted by the Church of Scientology Mission of the Foothills, 2254 Honolulu Ave. in Montrose.

Families had photo ops with the Easter bunny, decorated cookies and made custom Easter bags while hunting for eggs and eating treats.

“What a great event for my two daughters to attend,” said Crescenta Valley resident Kimberly Fraisse. “It was heartwarming to see all the joyous faces. The bunnies, the cookie decorating and arts and crafts were such a hit for all the little ones! Thank you to the Mission for hosting another successful Easter event.”

“We really enjoy creating family-friendly activities for our community,” said Mission Executive Director Stacy Kitchens. “This was our second year and we plan to keep doing it.”

Best known for its annual Halloween Haunted House, the Mission also hosts other free events for the community such as a first aid seminar coming up on Saturday, May 4 at 10 a.m.
