Delhi children will once again have the opportunity to search for thousands of chocolate Easter eggs hidden around the high school ball fields. The special community egg hunt will take place Saturday, April 15 at 10 a.m.

Children will again be broken into groups. The youngest group is designed for infants through two-year-olds. Ages three to five make up the second group. First through third grades are the third group, and fourth through sixth grades are the fourth group.

Each group will hunt on different fields at the high school. There will be lots of prizes available to all of the children once they have hunted for the 10,000 chocolate eggs.

Parking is available both off of Schendel Road and Merced Avenue at the Delhi Educational Park on the high school side.
