Annual egg hunt on the way

The 16th annual Youth Court Services Easter Egg Hunt will take place on Saturday, April 15 at 1 p.m.

The event was started by members of the foster parent association, one of whom worked for Youth Court Services. Over time, the office adopted the hunt and eventually obtained permission from the state Office of Court Administration to keep it going.

Last year, the local grocery stores donated a total of 1,800 eggs for the hunt. The eggs were then boiled and dyed by the youth court staff with the help of some of the youth in the program.

Local businesses also donated prizes for children in each age group.
