Fields of colorful eggs littered the green grass of the Ronan Community Park on Saturday. Children, with their Easter baskets close at hand, made their way to patches of eggs, quickly plucked them off the ground and made their way to the next area of harvest.

This was Mission Mountain Enterprises Inc.’ fifteenth year sponsoring the Ronan Community Park Easter Egg Hunt, held the day before Easter.

“This is one of the biggest things we do,” chief executive officer Graydon Moll said. “It’s one way for us to give back to the community.”

Children searched for eggs according to their age group. The park was covered with miniature bunnies hopping toward their egg discoveries.

Prizes and treats were handed out following the quick hunt, and a few Easter chicklets made their way to the MME-owned thrift store for a photo with the Easter Bunny.

The MME consumers helped dye and stuff the eggs for the event, and were at the event on Saturday to add to the Easter fun.
