Egg hunters hit campus April 19
The University of Montana-Missoula Oval is the place to be Easter weekend for one of the best egg hunts in the nation.

The free egg hunt, hosted by the Easter Bunny, will begin at 1 p.m. Saturday, April 19, in the center of campus.

Last year's Easter Eggstravaganza drew national attention when USA Today ranked the UM event as one of the top 10 egg hunts in the country. The newspaper listed UM third, behind egg hunts at the White House and New York's Central Park.

Children ages 0 to 9 are welcome to participate in the fun. The Oval will be sectioned off into four age groups: 0-3 years, 4-5 years, 6-7 years and 8-9 years. The egg hunters will receive age-appropriate candy and prizes. New to this year's Eggstravaganza will be special gold, silver and maroon eggs with top prizes in each age group.

Student athletes representing all Grizzly sports will be on hand to help youngsters fill their baskets with candy and toys.

The egg hunt is sponsored by UM, Southgate Mall, KECI-TV, A Carousel for Missoula, KMSO Radio, The Bookstore at UM and the Missoulian.
