PHOTO GALLERY: Key Club Easter

The islandside golf course was full of hundreds of kids decked in their Easter finest - just to dig in the hay.

Each age grouping had a different hay-shaped letter with eggs buried inside (all together it spelled out LBKC). When they were given the go-ahead, hay went flying everywhere until baskets were full of colorful eggs.
