Town Farm overrun with egg hunters

FALLS VILLAGE — A brisk and chilly wind made no difference to the 25 or so children gathered at the Town Farm property, primed for Easter egg hunting, Saturday morning, March 30.

Emily Peterson and Dan Carr separated the children into two groups: under the age of six, and everybody else.

Showing considerable discipline, the older children waited patiently as Peterson allowed the smaller contingent to go first.

After a few minutes, Carr gave the go-ahead, and there was a surge of youngsters into the playground and adjacent fields.

The adults huddled around the pool entrance, trying vainly to avoid the wind, and indulging in coffee and baked goods from the Lee H. Kellogg School eighth graders.

Afterwards, as the children opened the plastic eggs and assessed their hauls, Peterson trooped around with some additional eggs, to make sure everybody got something.
