For over 50 years, a Lancaster Park resident has hosted a neighborhood Easter Egg hunt in their yard. This year was no different, as over 75 children and parents gathered once again on the afternoon of March 29 for this fun and festive event.\n<\/p>\n

The large yard held over 1,000 bright eggs that contained candy and toys. Once a unison countdown was chanted, the kids were off and scampering to locate and collect as many eggs as their baskets could hold!\n<\/p>\n
