Youths hunt colorful eggs at Winfield park
Easter fun was in the chilly air Saturday, as 1,100 to 1,200 people attended the Winfield Township Eggstravaganza at the township park.
Terri Leslie, event coordinator, said more than 500 children enjoyed an Easter egg hunt, face painting, a petting zoo, balloon animals, a caricature artist and photos with Winnie the Winfield Wabbit, who many say looked suspiciously similar to Joyce Hutterer of Saxonburg.
All events were free, and those with a heart on the back of their entry ticket received a large gift basket while those with a star on their tickets received a smaller basket.
Children were divided into four age categories to hunt for more than 19,000 eggs stuffed with candy, money and free book coupons from the South Butler Community Library.
