The event, held Saturday afternoon in the borough, saw hundreds of participants take part in the egg hunt and take part in a variety of activities.

The event, open to children ages 12 and under, features games, crafts, refreshments and a visit from the Easter Bunny.

The hunt is held in conjunction with Historic Bellefonte, Inc. and saw kids hunt for 15,000 eggs within the park.

The children were divided into age groups throughout the park along with a separate area for children with special needs.

TIM WEIGHT/FOR THE EXPRESS Following the annual Bellefonte Easter Egg Hunt, many families could be seen gathered throughout Talleybrand Park to check out what special goodies they received. Amongst the eggs were special coupons which could be traded for baskets and bikes.

Extra special eggs had coupons for a trip to the bunny shack for an Easter basket, a bicycle or special prize.

Local clubs, churches, banks, businesses, fire companies and many volunteers supplied the candy-filled plastic eggs, their time, goods and service to keep this free for our children.
