BAILEY, A BIKE AND A BUNNY—Bailey Nootchai-Bebonang (above) insisted on coming to Sunday’s Easter egg hunt at the M’Chigeeng Powwow grounds, her mom said, and lucky she did because one of the eggs she collected contained a prized ticket, good for a new bike. Here she is with Ms. Bunny and the nice new bike. The event was a big success with dozens of youths participating.
