OKEECHOBEE - Everglades Baptist Church (EBC) held a spring festival last weekend for children in the community. After their fall festival was rained out, the members of EBC decided they would skip the fall events and instead hold a festival in the spring when it was less likely to rain. On April 3, the festival went on without any hint of rain. The festival included an Easter egg hunt , carnival booths, games and a Bible lesson taught by Tom Pasquarella.
