How do you dispose of 4000 plastic Easter eggs filled with candy and prizes in 10 minutes or less?  You invite 300 youngsters to the Arab City Park on a beautiful Spring afternoon.  Arab Park & Recreation Director Steve Hallman said "it was kind of like Sherman marching toward Atlanta" as the children spread out across the park in various age groups.

Hallman and several Park & Recreation employees spent several hours distributing the 4,000 eggs over the entire park area.  Hallman said the turnout was the best they have had and estimated about 250 - 300 children participated in the hunt.       Click here for additional photos...
