More than 2,000 Easter eggs were scattered across the playground at Southside Elementary School Saturday morning for the hunt. 

At least 100 children and their parents came with baskets in tow ready to fill them up with candy-filled eggs. After all of the eggs were collected, families enjoyed popsicles from Pop Craft.
