Legion hosts a most eggcellant egg hunt

BY FRANCESCA SAGALA

Children were hopping down the bunny trail to make a grab for the colorful eggs – which included some “special eggs” and “lucky eggs” – that were scattered across the lawn at the New Buffalo American Legion Post 169 Saturday, April 8. This year, there were 3,100 eggs that were waiting to be grabbed by the young egg hunters and placed into their buckets. Children in the following age groups hunted for eggs: toddlers to 4 years old, 5 to 8 years old and 9 to 11 years old. Three special eggs with $20 and certificates for free pizza and bowling, and three lucky eggs with $10 tucked inside of them were included in the batches of eggs. Children could also get their picture taken with the Easter Bunny himself (and his loyal assistant) and enjoy a hot dog lunch, with the hot dogs being supplied by the New Buffalo Business Association.
