ALR - Easter Baskets for Dos Palos year 3 2011

Pics are from top to bottom, click on a pic twice for full size, text for a pic is under he pic.

Year 3 of Easter Baskets for Dos Palos, east of Los Banos.  Last year we had a mass scramble as we ran out early... I didn't stay to the end, but I estimate we had at least 500 baskets, and I really doubt we ran out!

We take the Easter Baskets to the police dept for passing out to the kids.  Ed in the middle bringing in a few.  Met him recently in a PGR run.


More heading in to drop off baskets.....


We were literally bringing them in by the box full!


A shot or two of the scoots.




Here you can see the line of hopefuls on the left wrapping around the corner.


And down the block and around another corner.... yeah, I got lazy...


They had been passing out baskets by time I took the next two shots...
