The Palmyra Volunteer Fire Department was giving out free hotdogs, pizza (donated by Central Pizza), chips and drinks. There was plenty of food to go around.

“All the kids and parents seemed to be really happy and having a good time, said Hilltop manager Cody Jackson. “This is one of the biggest egg hunts we’ve ever had.”

The Easter egg hunt was broken down into four groups; up to 4 year olds, 5 to 6 year olds, 7 to 9 year olds and the 10 to 12 year old group.

When the Palmyra Volunteer Fire Department engines sounded their horns, the kids ran out into the fields and began gathering up the eggs. It took them no time to clean the area of eggs.

“The weather was nice today and the breeze felt good. All the kids seemed to have a wonderful time,” said Sarah Clark. “I think it’s great that Hilltop does this for the kids.”
