Since Bayside Community Church started in 2002, it has offered an Easter egg hunt, Eggolution. But, for the first time, the East County church has had the acreage to house the annual event. March 28, children and their families hunted for the more than 40,000 plastic, candy- or sticker-filled eggs, scattered throughout a range of fields on the church’s grounds. The event also included a bounce house, face painting booth, a giant slide and other attractions for attendees.
