CHARLTON — Marking its third decade of bringing families from neighboring towns and states to Charlton, Capen Hill’s Great Egg Hunt of 2014 took place Saturday, April 12, and hundreds of kids came out to find hid- den treasures in the woods. More than 5,000 eggs were dyed and decorated in a nature theme, and hidden along the nature sanctu- ary’s wooded hiking trails. Participants got prizes, had their faces painted, posed for pic- tures with the Easter bunny, and got a head start on the spring holiday festivities.

The annual egg hunt gets families outside and into the woods together.

Food and raffle prizes rounded out the annual fundraiser for Capen Hill.

Robbie Dalton, 1, from Worcester, and Brody Arsenault, 2, of Coventry, Conn., had their faces painted with bunny accents.

Leah Kane, 4, came from Rhode Island to find eggs at Capen Hill. Egg hunters got their pick of a prize from a table heaped with kids’ favorites.
