Children of all ages celebrated Easter at the Ballard Community Center last Saturday during their annual Easter Egg Hunt. Older kids searched for Easter eggs on the playfield, while the young ones were in the gymnasium, where plastic eggs were spread out on the floor.

"There's probably going to be eggs and stuff," said seven-year-old Joseph Currin, anticipating the hunt.
