As he had predicted a week earlier, the annual Easter Egg Hunt in Rankin Inlet on Saturday, April 19, was another resounding success, said Rankin Fire Chief Mark Wyatt.
Wyatt said the annual event was fantastic this year despite Mother Nature trying to throw a damper on the proceedings with colder temperatures.

He said he still sees the annual event, which he started after moving to Rankin Inlet to take up the position of fire chief, as something special for the kids and the community.
Although there's always different people working the event, the egg hunt, generally speaking, is very similar every year, he suggested.
