Saturday, April 4, First Baptist Concord held its annual “Easterfest” on its campus at 11704 Kingston Pike. A brief rain poured during the afternoon, but people soon emerged from their umbrellas for a fun-filled afternoon with a petting zoo, inflatables and the long-awaited Easter egg hunt, as children snatched up a whopping 16,712 eggs on the Concord Christian football field.
