On the hunt: Children tapped their sleuthing skills Saturday at a community EasterEgg Run at Desert Breeze Park. Volunteers and park employees and volunteers spread plastic eggs filled with candy and other treats across one of the baseball fields. Then, four egg runs took place, each for a different age group. The first group of Easter egg hunters swept the field clean in a matter of minutes, making way for the next group.
