The Emmaus Kiwanis hosted its Easter Egg Hunt April 8 at Emmaus Community Park. Candy-filled eggs, chocolate rabbits and pictures with the Easter bunny awaited hunters of all ages at the annual event. ABOVE: Alyssa, Autumn and Alex Hess review their collection.

Ellison Beitler is one of the winners of a chocolate bunny. Bunnies are exchanged for “special” eggs found during the hunt, according to the Kiwanis website.

Egg hunts are offered by age group at the event. Hunters in the division for 5 and 6 year olds gather eggs.

Lily Gavica and her dad Jose are first time participants in the hunt. Jose helped out a little at the start before Lily got the hang of the process.
