Egg hunts planned across county

DARKE COUNTY — Various communities, organizations, businesses and churches are hosting Easter egg hunts for the little ones and maybe some older ones alike to celebrate through Easter. In addition, many families hold the traditional hunts in or outside their homes at family gatherings.

Some families and egg hunt hosts make it a game by placing the eggs, whether they be hard-co0ked or plastic, in hard-to-reach places, especially for the older children. Some even offer prizes. Nonetheless, it’s hard fun time for all, especially the adults watching all of the action.

Several of the Easter egg hunts will be held this weekend, and the remainder the following [Easter] weekend.

The Darke County Y in Greenville will be hosting a Tumble With the Easter Bunny from 12:30 to 2 p.m. this coming Saturday for those ages 5 and up.

“Join us for gymnastics, crafts and a lot of fun, including an Easter egg hunt, for all participants,” said Y organizers.
