The weather was nearly perfect for outdoor Easter egg hunts Saturday.
About 150 youngsters turned out for the hunt co-hosted by the Jefferson park and recreation department and the Jefferson Kiwanis Club at the Greene County Community Center.
Hy-Vee Drugstore donated processing on photos with the Easter Bunny, and 31 other businesses donated prizes or cash.
The Grand Junction fire and rescue squad hosted an Easter egg hunt at the city park there. That hunt was also well attended, with 60 or so youngsters there scampering for eggs and candy.
