The annual Community Easter Egg Hunt offered kids something to do during the April blizzard last week. On Wednesday, when there was a break in the weather, 9-year-old Bryce Yri climbed trees and scoured the snow-covered ground to find the golden egg.
The egg was wired to an empty bird's nest in a tree near the power station on 6th Street North by the river. The first three clues – power, egg, and sticks – led Bryce to the right area with a little help from his dad, Mike. "We've gotten really close every year," mom Alaina said. "This time he was determined to find it," adding that he climbed several trees that day. Bryce took home $50 in Chamber bucks for his efforts.
