How long does it take 100 children to find 1,500 multicolored plastic eggs?

In less than an hour, the Easter eggs Stoneybrook residents hid throughout the lots behind the Recreation Center were stashed in baskets or ripped open by hungry kids.

Other than the thrill of the hunt, attendees of the 9th annual Easter Egg Hunt enjoyed cotton candy, games and pictures with the Easter Bunny.
