Children ages 8 to 12 may participate. Clues for the hidden eggs will be read through local radio station WMPF 91.1FM starting at 6 a.m. and concluding at 9 a.m. When an egg is found, children will have until noon to bring it to the Mexico Fire Department and receive an Easter basket.
Children age 7 and younger will have their Easter Egg Hunt at the Mexico Fire Station starting at 9 a.m. It is requested that children stop after finding one egg so that others may participate also.
