It was a cold morning the day before Easter, but that didn’t stop 187 children from hunting for Easter eggs on the frosted lawns of Butte View Campground.
Although the temperature was only slightly above zero while ABATE members put eggs out on vast stretches of the campground’s lawns, the 13th annual ABATE Easter Egg Hunt went off without a hitch March 26. Though the attendance was a bit down from last year, according to Doug Storer, who helps organize the event.
Storer, and his wife, Terry, of Bowman have been with ABATE for 26 years. He said that they’re two of the longest serving members in the state.
“It turned out pretty nice,” Storer said of this year’s event.
Local businesses and individuals donated prizes and funds to help with expenses for the hundreds of candy-filled eggs and special prizes won by some of the children.
ABATE of North Dakota is a not-for-profit, social membership-driven, organization dedicated to preserving motorcyclists’ freedom of choice and freedom of the road. Its main goal is to promote motorcycle safety, awareness, training and protect the rights of motorcyclists everywhere.
