A ‘bunny’ good time at the East Meadow Chamber of Commerce egg hunt

Saturday was a beautiful day to hunt some eggs, and there was no better place to do just that than at the East Meadow Chamber of Commerce’s 5th Annual Egg Hunt.

The East Meadow community came out in troves on March 30 to take part in a wonderful morning filled with fun, eggs, special characters and of course, plenty of sweet treats. The egg hunt takes place at Veterans Memorial Park, off of Prospect Avenue.

Aside from a special visit from the Easter Bunny, who was out and about meeting children and taking part in the egg hunt, several characters from Star Wars also made an appearance — including a team of Storm Troopers, and many other faces from the “dark side.” Among goodies found scattered throughout the field, there was a cotton candy machine and a face painting station.

Dressed in festive colors, and donning bunny ears and Easter baskets, egg-hunters left no spare egg or treat behind at the park. Once they were given the green light to go, they set their sights on as many eggs as they could hold.
