SUMMARY: Children across the city participated in Easter egg hunts over the weekend, including a competitive search for eggs at Anderson United Methodist Church. Kids were excited to collect colored eggs and chocolate treats. Maddox was determined to find all the Easter eggs, while others enjoyed the hunt as a family tradition and celebration of Jesus’ resurrection. Adults reflected on the true meaning of Easter, emphasizing the importance of Christ’s resurrection. While some may come for the eggs, the real reason for the celebration is to remember Jesus’ sacrifice and the opportunity for direct communion with God. Similar events also took place at the AG Museum.

SUMMARY: In this week’s Outdoor Adventures, Chelsea discusses preparing firearms for the upcoming gun season. She emphasizes the importance of cleaning her deer rifle, which had been unused since last season. To clean it, she used cleaning rods and a fabric patch soaked in Rim oil, removing dirt and grime from the barrel. After cleaning the bolt, she confirmed the rifle was sighted in by shooting a few rounds for accuracy. Chelsea’s husband, Wesley, also cleaned his shotgun in preparation for duck season, which requires more disassembly. Both firearms are now ready for use in their respective hunting seasons.
