Volunteers from the Washington State School for the Blind and the local Boy Scout Troop 562 help fill plastic eggs with candy on March 26 at the Camas Community Center. Pictured here, from left to right are: Garrett Hawk, 14; Miles O'Bryant, 15; Cody West, 15; Blake Wegener, 17; Adam Anderson, 16; and Ken Koceja, 14.

Pretty darn fast, says Krista Bashaw, the city of Camas’ recreation coordinator for special events.
