American Legion Auxiliary Unit 28 holds animal blessing and Easter egg hunt
American Legion Auxiliary Unit 28 held its annual animal blessing and Easter egg hunt April 16 in Millsboro. The animals were blessed by Pastor Emeritus Jim Vanderwall of Conley’s Chapel United Methodist Church, who prayed over the pets and gave each owner a wooden cross for the animal’s collar. Children were able to pick out a toy, book or stuffed animal from dozens of items donated by American Legion Post 28 Auxiliary members before taking off through the grass to find hundreds of eggs filled with treats.
