The Annual Easter Egg Hunt held in Monongahela April 13, 2019, was worth the wait, with the event being rescheduled and causing some unavoidable confusion.

Originally scheduled for 12:00 noon in Chess Park, the Easter Egg Hunt had to be moved back to 2:00 pm, due to a large nearby funeral procession to honor fallen WW II Veteran Sgt. Vernon Hamilton. Crowds still turned out for the later children’s festivities, which included an egg hunt, pictures with the Easter Bunny, the Chamber Cheetah, a drawing with prizes, treat bags and more!
“Hosting the Annual Easter Egg Hunt is not only tradition, but it is a way for us to celebrate the holiday with our children,” said Monongahela Area Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Dorothea Pemberton. “This is an opportunity for our Chamber to give back to the community—a place where we are proud to live, work and play!”
