Discover Easton’s Easter Egg Hunt was a very egg-citing event! Mayor Willey arrived by firetruck at the start to kick things off.

Two egg hunts were held; one for young children 4 and under, and one for older children ages 5-10. Discover Easton placed out over 4000 eggs for the event and they were scooped up by hundreds of excited kids in just a matter of minutes.

The event also featured free facepainting, and an appearance by the Easter Bunny who was available for the perfect photo opportunity.

The egg hunt was a great event that brought lots of joy to the youth of Easton, great job Discover Easton!
