The Spring Easter Egg Hunt - 2000

Picture of Easter Egg Hunt, April 2000.

For many years, the Brookline Chamber of Commerce sponsored an annual spring Easter Egg Hunt at the Brookline Memorial Recreation Center. Bales of hay hide hundreds of colored eggs from the throng of eager three to six year olds. Lying amid the hundreds of eggs are special golden Chamber Eggs that will bring the finder a stuffed animal or other fun prize.

Below are photos from the 2000 Easter Egg Hunt. Nearly 200 kids participated on what was a fine Spring morning. It was a perfect way to end the winter blues. The children had a great time and the parents got to enjoy a fine day in the sun watching their kids delight in scavenging for the hidden treasures.
