This year's event was the first sponsored by the Edmonds Daybreakers Rotary. "We're learning a lot," said event coordinator Nancy McDonald.  This year the event was broken into 3 separate eggs hunts for different age groups. "We wanted to make sure that the younger ones got a chance to fill their baskets too," said McDonald.
