In reality, the children picked up as many eggs as they could find in an allotted time span. The child with the most eggs picked up won a prize for each boy and girl in the age group. The 8 to 9 age group had to race while carrying an egg in a spoon, and the 10 to 11 age group had to roll an egg across the floor with a spoon as they raced to the finish line. All the children present received some Easter candy. The adults really enjoyed the spirited competition and a good time was had by all. The winners were:

Under 2, girl: Lillian Carney; boy: Thomas Carlyon

2 to 3, girl: Julia Tubabacki; boy: Gabe Willis

4 to 5, girl: Kelsey Fullwood; boy: Bobby Perkins

6 to 7, girl: Kayla Wilder; boy: Keegan Boldery

8 to 9, girl: Rachel Fegan; boy: Bryan Creighton

10 to 11, girl: Elizabeth Ashton; boy: Jacob Perkins

Special prizes went to the children with the most original Easter Hat. A prize went to each since the judge couldn't make up his mind. Alexis Dundas, Riley Miracle and Rylyn Scott were the winners.
