WAITING EGG-CITEDLY
Sarah Ford for Sauk Valley Media
Children excitedly wait for the Easter Egg Hunt to begin at Winning Wheels, Inc. in Prophetstown on Thursday, April 6. Administrator Dan Howard had the kids laughing after asking them to stretch and do the bunny hop before the hunt, telling them the eggs were filled with lima beans and brussel sprouts, and adding extra seconds during the final countdown. The eggs were scooped up within a few minutes and everyone went home with lots of candy and extra prizes! More photos on page 2.
