Easter egg hunts
%\&KHU\O+RHÀHU
Blue Mountain Eagle
It doesn’t matter if Easter
arrives early or late — egg
hunters are always ready for a
good time.
Dayville’s Easter egg hunt
in the town’s park drew 44
young participants this year.
Those winning the coveted
gold eggs were Mason Moore,
Sivanna Hodges, Riley Han-
sen, Halle Parsons, Ashlynn
Langum, Kara Hansen, Mal-
achi Bogardus, Riley Gregg,
Tyler Thompson, Jarin Wilson,
Belle Walcyzk and Jack Fisher.
There was even a hunt for
the grown-ups, much to the de-
light of their cheering children.
Joan Walcyzk won a prize
for the mom who brought
the most children, and Dustin
Wilson won for being the dad
who came the farthest.
