Who says Easter egg hunts are just for kids? Students, faculty and staff gathered on the plaza this Thursday to enjoy the third-annual EatBetter4Less egg hunt. The event was sponsored by the NTCC CARE Center, Peers Against Tobacco, Cox Logistics and the NTCC Social Work Club. More than 3,000 eggs were hidden, including golden eggs that were redeemable for special prizes ranging from gift cards to a free TV.
The event also included free pizza and cupcakes and a live DJ (DJ Co...AKA Rico Willis). Many thanks to everyone who worked hard to put on this fun, interactive event!
