Some 400 young children and toddlers searched throughout specific areas in Reservoir Park for specially marked eggs Saturday afternoon as TACO hosted its annual Easter Egg Hunt.
The weather was ideal as the children filled their baskets or bags with assortments of candy treats hidden throughout the park by the Easter Bunny with the help of TACO members. Prizes were awarded to those lucky children who found those specially marked eggs.
Following the Egg Hunt, the Easter Bunny headed to the playground area and passed out more candy to the children who were anxious to visit.
David Kaup and members of TACO expressed a “big thank you” to the many children and parents who participated in this year’s very successful event.
The winners include, first row: Skylar Rudasil, Rhyleigh Decoste, Alex Lewis, Halee Cassidy and Corbin Lego. Back row: Alexandria Bressler, Maggie Miller, holding Isabella Decoste, Faith Stiver, Alyssa Benton, Jenifer Cowher and Ashley Miller, holding her daughter Mercedes, who was a first place winner in the up to two years age group.
