This year the cash prize hidden inside the KSRM Easter Egg will be $2000. KSRM Inc. General Manager Matt Wilson announced last Friday that $2000 will be the total value of the KSRM Easter Egg this year.
This is the 47th year that KSRM President John Davis has hidden the Easter Egg somewhere in the greater Kenai/Soldotna area, and the big cash prize hidden in the egg always generates considerable activity in the annual egg hunt.
Now, with $2000 cash hidden again in the egg this year, it is expected many thousands of listeners will be tuned in and searching for the cash.
Last year the egg was found by Michelle Muller and Renee Gagnon at the Soldotna Skate Park on April 18.
Muller eventually struck the sweet spot inside a signpost…
Muller: “Well, at first I saw a black box, and we knew it was in a black box in a pole, so I got a stick and pushed the box up, and then I called her [Gagnon], because she was on the other side, to let her know that I found it, even though I hadn’t opened the box yet. So then I opened the box, and there was nothing in there. Yes. And then I looked in the other pole and there was another box, so of course I got a stick and broke a bunch of them in order to get the box out, and then I shook it, and then we started screaming, because we knew the egg was in there.”
Eight area sponsors make the annual Egg Hunt possible adn the clues that lead to the cash are posted at each sponsor’s store during the contest.
Sponsors are listed daily on KSRM, “The One,” 920AM and on KKIS 96.5FM.
