GREENSBORO – The Easter Bunny greeted more than 200 children and adults who turned out for the Greene County Department of Recreation’s Easter egg hunt and skate, held March 16 at Mon View Park in Greensboro.

At 1:30 p.m., children hunted for 2,000 eggs hidden throughout the park. This year, a special prize was given to the child who found a “Recreation” coin that had been hidden in one of the eggs. The winner, Jaime Chambers, 7, of Crucible, received a Vivitar digital camcorder. An Easter skate was then held from 2 to 4 p.m.
The Easter events were sponsored by Milliken & Throckmorton Funeral Home, the Greene County Commissioners and the Department of Recreation. Several 2013 Miss Greene County Queens – including Petite Miss Annalise Willis and Tiny Miss Alexis Hooper – assisted with the event.
