MILLERTON — Parents and children streamed onto Century Boulevard on Saturday, April 19, to board six hay wagons assembled in front of the Millerton Fire Department that would take them to Eddie Collins Memorial Park.
There was a hint of rain in the air. A few sprinkles came and went as families lined up to board the wagons, and there was plenty of talk of the 70-degree temperature.
The Millerton Fire Department hosted the event, and Kelly Roger, treasurer and a fire police captain, recalled how in past years the Easter egg hunt unluckily came with rain and even snow.
Once everyone was on board, the wagons, pulled by tractors, headed up North Maple Avenue to Beilke Road then to Route 22.
A sizable crowd was already waiting at the park, where open spaces had been sprinkled with plastic eggs filled with candy and prizes. The hunt was organized by age groups with every category including a couple of golden eggs, which came with a big prize-filled basket.

Sebastian Romualdo, 8, and his sister, Estefania, 4, of Millerton, each found a treasured golden egg.
Once the fields had been scoured for the eggs, parents and children settled down to pore over their treasure and do some trading. Others enjoyed a hot dog, courtesy of the Millerton Fire Department.
