Easter egg hunters take to the streets

Over 100 happy Easter egg hunters took to Main Street in Magnolia Saturday morning in search of plastic egg-wrapped treats. The event, sponsored by the Magnolia Juniors 4-H Club, typically happens in the city park, but it had to move this year due to winter conditions. “It was such a change from last year, because the park was under snow,” said Laura Luitjens, one of the organizers. She said 4-H Club members filled 1,900 eggs with candy at their last meeting, and more were donated after that. Also that morning, rabbits and a calf (in Easter bunny ears) were available for a small petting zoo.
