Eggs are given back for next years hunt.With over 5,000 eggs dotting the ground around Bayview Park, dozens of children ready to run and the Easter Bunny looking on, the annual Onset Bay Association Easter Egg hunt was no yolk.
The hunt commenced Saturday, April 4 and saw countless bunny-eared community members race against each other to gather as many eggs as possible. Bags open and ready, the event is competitive and usually ends within fifteen minutes of it starting.
This year, all the eggs were gathered within ten minutes.
Volunteer with the association, Noah, said it took the team countless hours to stuff the eggs with candy and place them around the park. With years of volunteering under his belt, Noah said that he's excited to come back every year and lend his time.
"The OBA (Onset Bay Association) is about people enjoying themselves, having fun for a low cost and people have fun," he said. "Kids love to come and do all of this."
Noah highlighted the chili contest, cornhole tournament and Summer of Love concert series as other events he enjoys participating in. Big turnouts for the events are something he said he likes to see.
Three of many kids participating, Layne Hunt, Serenity Hunt and Gianna Snyder were raring to go to grab the eggs. The trio all had faces painted for the event and had goals in mind for the amount in their baskets.
"I'm going to get three to four," Layne said.
Gianna, who was aiming for up to 30 eggs said her favorite part of Easter was the hunt. Serenity has the same goal, and had matching facepaint with Gianna.
"I have pink and Gianna has blue," Serenity said. "Those are our favorite colors."
Other children had strategy instead of egg goals. Harper Lee said she aims for the closest eggs first and then runs to the farthest eggs second, a tried and true method.
Harper said her favorite part of the event was the possibility of getting specialty eggs like the big silver one in her bag. Showing kindness at the quick-paced event, she even donated one of her eggs to another participant.
"I gave it to her because she didn't have many eggs," Harper said.
As the park cleared, the Easter Bunny snapped photos with the hunters and the eggs were collected to be used for next years hunt. Much of the candy was donated by community members and donations were accepted for upcoming events.
