Hundreds of Kids Hop to Easter Egg Hunt at Crocker Park

The Easter celebrations started early at on Saturday afternoon when hundreds of families came in search of Easter eggs.

Kids and their parents hit the Crocker Park front lawn in waves, giving staff time to restock the area with plastic eggs filled with candy and golden eggs filled with prizes.

"We had a great time," said Andrea Silverman of Rocky River. "The weather really held up and the kids made out with a ton of candy, so they're happy!"

The springtime celebration included a magician, facepainting, crafts and a special visit from the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo. The event was sponsored by .
