Despite a lingering storm that dumped snow and rain on much of the Anza Valley, Anza’s annual Community Easter Egg Hunt went without a hitch Saturday, March 30.Due to the impending severe weather, it was decided last week to switch the festivities from the Lions of Anza Valley's gymkhana field to the Hamilton High School gymnasium.The yearly free event attracted hundreds of visitors to hunt eggs, enjoy free food and shop craft and gift vendors. The Easter Bunny was on hand to mingle with the crowds. Over 12,000 candy-filled plastic eggs were eagerly scooped up by the excited children.Opening events included several local pastors speaking briefly about the meaning of Easter. Pastors Mark Neer with Anza Valley Christian Fellowship, Matt Nevills with Anza First Southern Baptist
