The Sequim Elks Lodge once again hosted photo-ops with the Easter bunny and four egg hunts for different age groups outside the lodge at 143 Port Williams Road on Saturday, April 19.

Twenty volunteers hid 2,500 eggs, including eight golden eggs that awarded a child a prize if they found them.

This year, 155 children participated in the egg hunts, volunteers said.
