Easter egg hunters pounce while the sun shines
WINFIELD TWP — Winfield Community Park turned into an Easter wonderland Saturday, April 1. There were food trucks, a petting zoo, a foam party, pictures with the Easter Bunny and the main event, an Easter egg hunt where more than 20,000 plastic eggs filled with candy, toys, lucky tickets and more were snatched up in minutes.
The township community building was filled with face painters, balloon artists, tinsel clip artisans, craft vendors and baklava being sold by Greek Orthodox nuns.
The entire event, which ran from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., took place under a blue sky and sun and ended as the clouds turned gray and rain began to splatter on attendees.
It was the third year for the Easter egg hunt put on by Terri Leslie, Jerry Bundy and a group of volunteers.
