A warmer, sunny afternoon drew dozens of families to the Easter egg hunt at Blue Mound on Saturday, April 4. The hunt took place in the city park. The children easily filled their baskets with colorful plastic eggs that held candy.

Eight-year-old Liam sprints toward the west side of the park's shelter where the eggs were plentiful.

Trinity, 5, quickly fills her basket with the colorful plastic eggs.

Five-year-old Scarlett and her mother transfer eggs from overflowing baskets.
