Kids, plastic eggs mark Mundelein's annual egg hunt

Community Park in Mundelein was awash with children and colored plastic eggs for the Egg Hunt Egg-Stravaganza.

Hundreds of children ages 1 to 6 participated in Friday's event. Kids scooped up eggs in hunts in various age group, and some of the eggs contained special prizes.

The Mundelein Park & Recreation District, along with partner NorthShore University HealthSystem, hosted the annual hunt at no cost to the public.

Besides the hunt, children and parents visited a petting zoo and took photos of their children with the Spring Bunny and Ronald McDonald.
