Harrybrooke egg hunt: in photos
It couldn't have been a more perfect day for an Easter egg hunt. Harrybrooke Park hosted its egg hunt under a bright blue sky Saturday, April 19. Several hundred families flocked to the park to hunt for eggs scattered on fields. Children exchanged their findings for a Scholastic book. In addition to the egg hunt, Frank, the peacock, was on hand to meet with patrons, Rich's Wings & Things and Jesse's Ice Cream Truck served food to attendees, and Agriventures Agway met with the public and introduced them to four-day-old chicks.
