ENGAGING…Coco Lorenzo and Bryan Beasley were honorees at an engagement party on March 22 in the home of Alice and Don Dahlgren.

Co-hosts were Jane and David Thompson, Dayna and Lance Duke, Kathy and Mike Steffen, Judy and Tom Love, Beverly and Mark Funke, Sue and John Goodman, Rachel and Les Hardy, Shirley and Myron Hilton, Mary True and David Neumann and Sylvia and Robert Slater.

The party was the night before Easter Sunday, so Mr. and Mrs. Easter Bunny (Cindy and Hugh Rice) greeted guests as they arrived. Bouquets of spring flowers decorated the Dahlgren home.

A large paella dish with all the condiments was served and among the guests were Cuqui Lorenzo, Anya and Chris Northup, Christy Mignacca, Flo and Roger Allen, Rachel and Dick Beasley, Carol and Bob Scully, Lil and Bill Ross, Heather and Bob Ross, Lori and Dodge Hill, Gwen and Chet Cockrill, Ivett and J.J. Howard, Susan and Jay Johnston and Molly and John Fritch.

That morning, Lil Ross was hostess for a brunch and shower. Assisting her were Gwen Cockrill, Cathey Cooper, Judy Dennis, Harolyn Enis, Cheryl McLure, Susan Nicholson, Cindy Rice, Patti Shidler and Linda Steinhorn.

The engaged couple will be married in July in Solvang, Calif.

BREAKFAST AND HUNT…A full array of activities was on the schedule March 22 at the annual Oklahoma City Golf and Country Club Easter egg hunt.

There was a petting zoo featuring live animals. There were hundreds of hidden plastic eggs filled with candy and prizes, several costumed Easter bunnies, egg dying and cupcake decorating.

Staff members handed out stuffed bunnies and clowns painted flowers and bunnies on smiling children’s faces. Another clown created ballon animals and swords for the young guests who were children and grandchildren of club members. Everyone had juice and cookies prior to the hunt and then breakfast featuring a waffle sundae bar, eggs benedict and French toast sticks followed.

BEST BONNET, BEST BASKET…Kanela Huff was hostess for her annual Easter Sunday egg hunt and dinner.

The children’s hunt was at 5:05 p.m.; the adult hunt (with fabulous prizes) was at 5:40 p.m. and fried chicken and baked ham and hot dog dinner was served at 6:20 p.m.

The signed OU football prize went unclaimed, as there was not “best bonnet” in the crowd.

Lisa Voegeli baked her special decorated bunnies and egg cookies.

Tulips, orchids and bunny rabbits were decorations all over the Huff home. Big blow-up plastic eggs and rabbits were set outside. Easter eggs for the children who were 5 years old and under were filled with candy and Oklahoma quarters.

For the 5-10 year olds, prizes were games, beach towels and flashlights.

Guests included Candy and Tom Dulaney, Cindy Hollingsworth, Bob Barnard, Libby and Steve Steakley, Judy Lehmbeck, Cheryl and Steve Browne, Rawsie and Sonny Boyles, Barbara Boyles, Berit and Jack Sweeney, Karen and Gray Frederickson, Connie Givens, Jennie Givens, Elyse Hull, Jack and Whitt Hull and Kate Russell.
