Kristy Mills posted on Facebook this past week with a cheery “Hello Pahrump!” stating, “We are looking for volunteers! We need help with face painting and kid’s crafts! Please let me know if you are interested.” She also asks any individuals or businesses if they would be willing to sponsor Golden eggs for the Easter event this year. “All golden eggs have a $1, $5, $10, $20 or $100 bill in them (depending on how many sponsors we get). These are for kiddos (usually age 10+ who go looking for Easter eggs hidden out in the desert!). We also are working on raising funds for prize ticket eggs. How much we raise will determine the amount of prizes we can give away. There is absolutely no pressure. Thank you.” Please email KristyLBates17@gmail.com to sponsor, or for more information. “A small donation makes a difference.”
