Prized eggs found

More than 200 children attended the first‑ever Y‑12 egg hunt held March 29 at Cedar Hill Park in Oak Ridge. The egg hunt was sponsored by the Y‑12 Employees’ Society.

“We had about 1,500 eggs with candy and treats inside them, and the kids went wild when the hunt started, ”said Ryan Hay of Engineering and YES ticket discounts officer. “All of the eggs were collected in less than 15 minutes!” “The egg hunt was wonderful. Employees and their children had a great time.”

Patches the Rabbit (portrayed by Rashaun Williams of Engineering and YES events officer) made an appearance and delighted the children as they found the prized eggs.

The YES board plans to make this event a Y‑12 tradition. “We plan to make next year’s egg hunt bigger and better,” Hay said.
