Two-year-old Ellie Upchurch of Mount Vernon gathers eggs with her great grandmother, Dr. Linda Upchurch, as the Easter Bunny observes. Ellie is the daughter of Spc. Shawn Upchurch of the 631st Engineer Co. based in Sparta. The Illinois National Guard's Easter Egg Hunt for Military Families at Mount Vernon Armory was a huge success despite the rain on March 29. The program, co-sponsored by Survivor Outreach Services of Illinois and the Illinois National Guard Youth Programs, was open to military families and the families of fallen service members. Events like the Easter Egg Hunt help strengthen the military community. Many of those participating were children of deployed Soldiers from the Illinois Army National Guard's 2nd Battalion, 130th Infantry Regiment with armories across Southern Illinois, including Mount Vernon.
