Cosley Zoo hosts Great Egg Scramble

If you're going to hold an Easter egg hunt, there are some things you absolutely must have.

First, you need a bunch of brightly colored plastic eggs containing all sorts of goodies delivered, ideally, by a giant, even more brightly colored bunny.

Next, you have to invite a whole bunch of kids and make sure they have baskets or other containers in which to collect their treasure.

And, of course, it's always a good idea to divide those kids by age so the older ones don't wind up hippety-hopping all over the younger ones.

But the most important part of the whole thing comes down to this: You've got to have a really cool name for your event. Something kind of funny. Something kind of clever. Something like the Great Egg Scramble.

Which, it turns out, is exactly the name organizers came up with for the egg hunt Saturday at Wheaton Park District's Cosley Zoo.

In addition to the great name, the Cosley event also offered youngsters and their parents a chance to hang out with that big bunny and, better still, to check out some of the other animals who live at the zoo.
