Soggy Easter Event Still Big Success

Easter festivities in the area were dampended somewhat by morning rain on Saturday. Several egg hunts took place, however, including the 30th anniversary of the Edina Realty Egg hunt held at Roadside Park. Some of the organizers gathered under the Picnic shelter, while others like Chuck Conant, marked out the age categories and scattered candy.
