EAST HAVEN, CT — Sunday, hundreds turned out for the inaugural East Haven Eggs-Stravaganza sponsored by the town's recreation department.
The Easter Bunny arrived on a fire truck with a police escort, as hundreds of children and their families hunted, and filled their baskets with, goodies from on the Town Green.
A raffle included prizes such as bicycles, "huge" Easter baskets filled with fun treats and 16 round-trip airline tickets donated to the event by Avelo Airlines to any of the airline's destinations out of Tweed New Haven Airport.

"The tremendous turnout once again shows what an amazing community East Haven is," Carfora said. "This was another great 'first' of many annual traditions that will continue to grow."
