An eggs-ellent day for a hunt

Children take advantage of the beautiful weather at City Park on Easter Sunday, where the Elks held its annual Egg Hunt. The lodge's youth activities director, Carrie Wallace, figured over a thousand plastic eggs were put out around the park. Children were split into four different age groups before starting the hunt, with eggs containing money, candy or slips for prizes donated from local stores. Prizes included Easter baskets from Bob's IGA and City Market, two-dollar bills and movie tickets for the Nolan Center. Until about ten years ago, Wallace explained the eggs were real, hard boiled and hand-colored by volunteers. "This is so much better," she said.
