The Easter Bunny made another early appearance to the delight of dozens of local children on Sunday, April 9 at Tryon Country Club. The afternoon featured an Easter egg hunt, games, prizes, snacks… and even a hug from the Easter bunny.  The event was offered free to area children 12 years old and under and was sponsored by Tryon Country Club. Participants were asked to bring canned goods and other non-perishable items for donation to Thermal Belt Outreach Ministry. (photos submitted by Jennifer Grabosky)
