The hunt was on at the Morton Grove Park District ‘Eggstravaganza' hunt event for children and pooches,
The Morton Grove Park District held its annual 'Eggstravaganza' egg hunt at Prairie View Park, bringing nearly 200 kids age 1 to 10 to the park to search for treat-filled plastic eggs. Then, after their early morning treasure hunt, the dogs took to the field for the 'Doggie Egg Hunt.' Organizers said 44 dogs participated.
'We heard from many participants [who] say they had a great time at the event,' Park District Recreation Supervisor Claire Baumgartner told Pioneer Press via email. 'Kids had a great time scooping up eggs, looking for a golden egg for a prize, seeing the bunny, and enjoying the beautiful weather.'
Baumbartner said the Park District is pleased with the turnout.
The annual event features a visit by the Easter bunny, and the eggs the kids find have small toys and candy inside.
The event was broken up into age groups, with 1- and 2-year-olds hunting first in an event exclusively for their age group. The older children filled their bags and baskets – which they had to provide themselves – with goodies. Then, the dogs' hunt was held.
All participants had to be accompanied by a parent or guardian, according to the flyer announcing the event.
'We had a wonderful turnout of participants on a beautiful April day. Families came and stuck around to find all the treasures in their eggs and to enjoy the park. We have a great time putting on this event, seeing everyone get together as a community, and watching the kids light up as they find all their goodies,' Baumgartner stated in the email.

Elizabeth Hurley is showing where she gets her good looks from. The 60-year-old "The Royals" star took to Instagram to share a photo of her and her mother, Angela, in celebration of Angela's birthday. In the photo, the two women can be seen with their arms around each other, dressed in matching leopard-print swimsuits.

Angela posed in a one-piece swimsuit with a plunging neckline, while Hurley posed next to her in a matching bikini. Both mother and daughter accessorized their looks with a white cover-up.

Wow!!!" another fan commented, while one person wrote, "Well this explains everything! Good genes. Gorgeous photo!! ❤️" "You won the good genes lottery for sure," a fourth fan told her. Hurley recently celebrated her own milestone birthday with a sultry Instagram post. In June, she posted a photo of herself sitting in a field with no clothes on in honor of her 60th birthday.

Hurley made headlines earlier this year when she went Instagram official with boyfriend Billy Ray Cyrus on Easter Sunday. In the photo she shared, Cyrus could be seen kissing her cheek as she smiled. Since then, the two have spoken about their relationship a few times, with Hurley telling Page Six that while she understands people "found Billy and I being together a little surprising," she didn't, adding "we're actually quite similar and get on extremely well." "We both like to laugh a lot, and we both love the country. And we both love country music, both love movies. We've got a lot in common — and cowboy boots, definitely," she explained.
