The hunt is on

For the second year in a row, the Y‑12 Employees’ Society (YES) held an egg hunt at Cedar Hill Park for employees’ children and grandchildren. More than 200 children hunted 2,500 eggs filled with candy. Those finding golden eggs turned them in for a special prize.

Ryan Hay, YES organizer of the event, said, “We had a great turnout this year. With more eggs than last year, it seemed that they were gone in about the same amount of time.”

The children also could visit with the YES bunny—also known as Rashaun Williams. “I love to see a child’s face light up in amazement. It’s priceless.”

Hay was grateful to the many volunteers who filled and hid the eggs. “The volunteers were extremely helpful. It would have taken several days to get all of those eggs filled, but with the help from everyone, we were able to get the job done in a couple of hours.

So a big thanks to all the volunteers. Without their help, it would have been impossible to have had such a great egg hunt!”
