More than a thousand excited youngsters gathered at the Diamond Valley Community Park’s ballfields filling their Easter baskets with some of the 20,000 plastic Easter eggs filled with candy treats and other surprises on Saturday, April 19. The annual Easter weekend Valley-Wide Park and Recreation District event brought on a new sponsor this year, Vallarta Supermarkets. They handed out Easter doughnuts to children and adults before the highly anticipated egg hunts.
The hunts themselves were divided by age ranges, including the littlest from 1 to 3 years old, which allowed help from their parents on the field. The older children participated on their own, which included zones for ages 4-5, 6-9, and 10-12. An area for special needs and sensory-sensitive children was also included.
