Easter Egg Hunt!

2016 Egg Hunt

It has come to our attention that the Easter Egg Hunt that is scheduled for this Saturday has been made public via “What’s Happening in Kanabec County.”  This is an annual event hosted by the StarLight Committee for the employees and providers of FirstLight Health System, not the general public. 

To try to avoid hurt feelings from the public, we are going to change the time from 10 am to 9am.  If you/your family would like to be there earlier, we will have a craft for the kids to participate in at 8:30am. 

Can’t wait to see you all there.  Thanks again for your understanding. 

~From all of us on the StarLight Committee

Ron Gloe will be here on Thursday, January 14, 2016 from10:00 a.m. – 3:30 p.m.
