TROY, Ala. (TROJANVISION) — The Troy Psychology Club held an indoor Easter egg hunt Tuesday night inside Hawkins Hall, combining candy, competition, and community. 

The event was originally planned for the outdoors, but rainy weather pushed the club to bring the festivities inside. Despite the change in location, Troy Psychology Club Vice President Geo Gardener said the excitement didn’t fade. 

“It made me really happy to see everyone get really competitive and have a good time with the Easter egg hunt,” said Gardener. “We sometimes we don’t have the biggest attendance, things might get slow—but with such a small-knit group, we really do have a lot of fun and get to know each other well.” 

Participants searched through the building for 150 hidden eggs; each filled with candy. The golden egg, which held the honor of bragging rights, stood out among the rest.  

Julia Fagan, who helped organize the event, ended up finding the coveted egg herself. 

“It was fun,” Fagan said. “It had a little golden ticket in it—like ‘Charlie and the Chocolate Factory’.” 

Gardener says events like the Easter egg hunt are designed to showcase a more relaxed and engaging side of the club.  

“My goal was to show people that when you come to Psychology Club, we do have fun events,” Gardener said. “It’s not just lectures every week—we’re trying to broaden our member pool and make sure people want to come.”
