PLANT CITY BAPTIST Church held their annual Easter egg hunt on the church grounds on Saturday, March 24.

Five hundred eggs were hidden for children and adults. The children were divided into age groups before the hunt began. Prizes were given for the most eggs found in groups and the one who found the most eggs. Group winners were Kinley Sanders, Kate Sanders and Brady Bannister. Kenley also won for finding the most eggs.

After the children received their prizes the adult hunt began. There were six numbered tables for adults. East person at the table looked for eggs with their table number on them. When all the eggs were found, each table had a puzzle to put together. The hard part was finding all the eggs which contained a puzzle piece. Table one was the winning table. It is believe that since the church pastor, Bro. Brad Reed, was a participant at that table, he could have had some “special help”.
