Hunting shelled treasure

Eggs can be prepared and eaten hundreds of ways. But come Easter time every year, they come off the plate and into the basket.

Easter egg hunts are an annual tradition for many families and communities. This year is no exception, and there will be plenty of chances this weekend in and out of Auburn to participate.

Around town, there will be the mainstay events that have been around for generations - egg hunts in Hoopes and Harmon parks in Auburn, as well as the annual one at Clift Park in Skaneateles.
