Eastern Utah Community Credit Union (EUCCU) is hosting an Easter Piggy Hunt on April 6 at 5:00 pm at their Price Branch located at 675 East 100 North. Castle Country Radio was able to sit down with EUCCU Representative, Paige Anderson to talk about the event.

“It is our annual Easter Piggy Hunt so while everyone else has their Easter Egg Hunts and their Easter Bunnies, we have our Easter Piggy Hunt with our Easter Piggy. So we’re inviting everyone to come down to our Price Branch on Thursday at 5:00 pm to hunt for eggs and piggys and win awesome prizes,” said Anderson. This event is open to the entire community and children will be divided up between age groups.

Although we have yet to experience Spring like weather the grand prizes at the event are geared around Spring time. “Even though it doesn’t feel like it right now, it is Spring time. So we have all of our prizes themed to enjoy this wonderful weather, I hope we have soon, and get out of the house a little bit. We’ve got like hoverboards, an electric scooter, just some fun stuff to get you out of the house and enjoy,” said Anderson. All children who attend the Easter Piggy Hunt will automatically be entered into the grand prize drawing. There is an opportunity to up your chances of winning by purchasing additional tickets for a small donation.

All proceeds from the event will go towards the Angel Tree Project that EUCCU assists with every Christmas holiday. “So United Way is the one that kind of holds the Angel Tree but we’ve been participating with them for a long time. We’ve raised money throughout the year and then we sponsor angels so our members can come down and adopt angels and buy gifts for families in need, who may not be able to afford their own Christmas. As well as, we will supplement funds for anyone who doesn’t get adopted,” stated Anderson. EUCCU hosts various events like bake sales, Pumpkin Festival, and concession stands to help earn money throughout the year to assist them with the Angel Tree.
