romp through Tremonton Kiwanis egg hunt
By Jessica Wakley
April 19, 2007 | TREMONTON -- Children ran through
a sea of color, gathering eggs, when the fire engines
sounded their horns, signaling the beginning of the
hunt.
The Easter egg hunt was on at 10 a.m. April 7 at the
Jeanie Stevens Park.
The egg hunt is put together by the Kuwanis Club and
has been going for 15 years, said Robert Jex.
The rules for the hunt say the children can grab as
many eggs as they can carry without a bag or basket.
Next they run to a line where they turn the eggs in
for candy, turning only three eggs in at a time.
"No kicking, shoving or pushing -- that is for
the parents," said Jex
The event had six age groups ranging from 1- to 12-year-olds.
Each age group was blocked off by a rope, which did
not stop the younger groups. After all the eggs were
gone from their area they crossed the ropes and helped
the 11- and 12-year-olds finish.
The hunt only lasted about 15 minutes, which was plenty
of time to gather armfuls of candy and boxes of cereal
donate by businesses.
