Despite the dreary, snowy conditions and biting cold, several dozen little chocolate enthusiasts gathered at Chester-Andover Elementary School on Saturday morning for Chester Rotary’s annual Easter Egg Hunt. The hunt promptly kicked off at 9 a.m. as the children ran about trying to get their hands on the foil covered chocolates. A few were fortunate enough to find the plastic eggs, earning themselves a small prize. Photos by Shawn Cunningham. Click a photo to launch the gallery.
