Under a near-perfect blue sky, Catasauqua Fire Department blocked off St. John Street in front of Catasauqua Park & Playground for its annual Easter egg hunt April 13.

Joe Carl coordinated the event, and he had a bit of help. April Murray, of EXP Realty, brought along her staff to help keep the group under control. EXP Realty works with Caliber Home Loans, so they joined the team, too. The two companies contributed some of the big prizes.

Donna Gewertz snapped pictures of the participants for parents.

Firefighters gave tours of the firetrucks, while the Easter Bunny grabbed the attention of a few for a visit and photos.

Every egg contained a candy treat, but some were marked as winners, which brought special prizes like large chocolate bunnies.
