Dundalk's annual Mega Egga Hunt made quite a splash at Heritage Park on Saturday.
While it took many volunteers hours upon hours to stuff 10,000 colorful plastic eggs with small treasures, it took just minutes per age group for egg hunters to vacuum them up when Dundalk's annual Mega Egga Hunt got under way Saturday.

The Easter tradition of wearing your Sunday best has gone by the wayside, the author says, recalling Easter Sundays as kid, circa 1963.

Nobody shines their shoes, puts on a suit and struggles with that top shirt button; nobody wears white gloves, a new hat and a gay Easter frock; and nobody uses the word “gay” like that anymore.

Easter Sunday was the only event of the Kid Year that I ever wore a suit and tie and a pair of hard shoes. The tie was usually a clip-on bowtie and the suit was of the finest 35 thread-count fallow brown burlap. The shoes still smelled of rubber and glue and always seemed to be one size too small.
