Several hundred children and adults showed up to scour Livesey Park for the annual egg hunt sponsored by the North Fairhaven Improvement Association on Saturday, 3/31.
This year, organizers tried to be a little more….well, organized, and held back the bigger kids while the little ones raced down the hill to their designated areas. The jury’s still out on whether or not it was better than past years.

The children and their adults also had a chance to take pictures with the Easter Bunny.
Children who found the coveted wooden eggs, were able to turn those in for special prizes. Participants also got a ticket for a raffle to win an Easter basket. The event was completely free.
Adrianna, 7, found three wooden eggs, then learned that she was only supposed to have one, so she gave two away. She gave one egg to a little girl who was crying because she had not found one..
She said no one told her to do it.
“No, I just gave it to her,” said Adrianne. “Because she didn’t have any eggs and she really needed one.”
She also gave an egg to a boy who got a truck with it. The little girl got some chalk.
Adrianna got a Barbie with her remaining egg. But then she saw a little girl who did not get anything, so Adrianna gave her Barbie away, too.
“She did not get anything, so I just gave it to her,” said Adrianna.
The Neighb News is delighted to be able to report on her acts of kindness.
NFIA President Jeff Lucas mentioned Adrianna’s generosity in his remarks.
