The Wellsboro Lions Club hosted its annual Easter Egg Hunt, after rain delayed the event by a day. The club hid about 3,000 eggs in Woodland Park for four age ranges: under 2, ages 3-4, ages 5-7 and 8 and older. It took minutes to clear the areas of eggs, then more time to open to find out if candy or a ticket to win a larger prize was hidden inside. The Lions Club also offered free hot dogs and hot chocolates to all participants, along with a special guest, the Easter Bunny.
