Kids scramble to collect Easter eggs during the annual Easter egg hunt on Saturday, April 19, 225 at Carey Memorial Park in Utica. This year marks the first time the Utica Fire Department used plastic eggs since the 1970's when the hunts began. The fire department chose plastic eggs this year instead of dying them due to the high cost and quantity.
