EAST FISHKILL— There were eggs all over the Easter Fishkill Community Center. It was part of the seventh annual “Easter Egg Hunt” thrown by the East Fishkill Recreation Department and the East Fishkill PBA.

“We love doing this. He loves it. Recreation does a great job,” said East Fishkill resident Grace Bryant. Bryant watched as her four-year-old son Grant took his picture with the Easter Bunny.

“He couldn’t wait,” said Bryant.

East Fishkill Recreation Director Bill Green said they had more than 350 goodie bags to hand out on Saturday, April 4. The bags had chocolate candy eggs, lollipops and a stuffed animal duck.

“It’s his first Easter,” said local resident Natalie Reilly of her son John Anthony. They were upstairs in the Community Center. Children three years and younger looked for eggs upstairs. The older children found eggs outside in the blocked off parking lot. The older children were divided into age groups of three to five years and six-to nine-year- olds.

“He likes it,” Reilly said of her seven-month-old son’s reaction about the event.

Cory Heinke, who works with town recreation, said, “They get their little eggs. They have their bags full of prizes. They go downstairs with the Easter Bunny.”

She wished it was a more pleasant day for the egg hunt, though, said Heinke. It was at times a windy and rainy morning.

“The kids love it,” she said about the event.
