PHOTOS: 2026 Community Egg Hunt

Around 12,000 eggs dotted the General Lew Wallace Study & Museum Saturday afternoon as the Community Egg Hunt got underway. Within minutes, local egg hunters helped pick the grounds clean of candy and treats. One hunter out of each grade group also took home a bicycle after finding a rare golden egg.
