Treats for Easter<\/h1>\n

LEONGATHA residents enjoyed the return of its special Easter guests who roamed the streets delivering chocolate eggs last week.<\/p>\n

Nola Sneddon and Val Pistrucci grew up in Leongatha and have been distributing eggs in festive costume for the last 35 years.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were local girls born and raised in Leongatha area and it is always great to come home,\u201d Ms Sneddon said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe get great pleasure in distributing the eggs along with some cheer and fun around Leongatha. A smile and a hug cost nothing but they certainly bring a lot of joy to all.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ms Sneddon and Ms Pistrucci started the tradition in memory of their grandmother Eveline Smith.<\/p>\n

Mrs Smith passed away in 1986 and was a resident of Woorayl Lodge, one of the major sponsors who donated chocolate goods to the cause.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis year we would like to thanks Woorayl Lodge Ladies Auxiliary, Lions Club of Leongatha and Leongatha Chamber of Commerce and Industry for their support,\u201d Ms Sneddon said.<\/p>\n

All proceeds went towards the Good Friday Appeal.<\/p>\n
