Some were decked out in their Easter finery. Others had their running shoes on. But all of the kids were excited to participate in Mesquite's annual Easter Egg Hunt, Saturday morning, Apr. 7 at the Marilyn Redd Park. This year's affair was organized by the Mesquite Virgin Valley Lions Club.

Dozens

of kids, divided into age groups to give all a fair chance at grabbing the brightly colored eggs, lined up and anxiously waited for the mad dash through the grass.

Some found the special eggs that would award them a prize donated by businesses and organizations in Mesquite.

Even the Easter Bunny was on hand to join in the fun.
