    Thanks to all the volunteers and to our sponsors UniTel, Bangor Savings Bank and Sweet Pete's for a hopping good time at the Annual Community Egg Hunt! Most of all, thanks to the 100 plus kids and family members who showed up to make the morning so much fun! The bunny wanted you all to know that she is already looking forward to returning next year. If you had a picture taken with the bunny, it is now available for pick-up at the Bangor Savings Bank Unity branch!
