Easter egg
hunt at Villanova
By Michael Nataro '06
On March 20, the Panhellenic and Interfraternity
councils held their annual easter egg hunt for the children of the families
and friends of Villanova. Rain moved the event into Dougherty Hall, but that
did not stop more than a hundred children from scouring every corner for
Easter eggs, gorging themselves on candy and intently watching the
locally-renowned magician John Cassidy and his performance.
With a performance lasting almost an hour,
illusionist Cassidy, known for his witty humor and rapid-fire talking,
entertained the children with old favorite tricks such as pulling a rabbit
out of a hat and turning bunch of flowers into a dove all the while making
balloon sculptures for the crowd.
Dr. Mark
Graham, professor of Ethics at Villanova shared his children’s experience of
the Easter egg hunt. “The kids had a wonderful time. Of course, kids and
sugar are a winning recipe. But they enjoyed the egg hunt, and my son
really enjoyed the magician. We'll be making this event a pre-Easter
tradition.”
