Children at the Franklin County Sheriff’s Office’s Easter egg hunt make a dash for the eggs Saturday morning. In addition to prizes, the hunt included a bounce house, food and a chance to visit with the Easter bunny. [ David Adlerstein | The Times ]
It featured more than 3,500 plastic eggs, with goodies inside, and 500 real eggs, and the children made sure they hunted all of them down at the Franklin County Sheriff’s Office’s annual Easter egg hunt.
Held on a field adjacent to the sheriff’s office on Highway 65, the Saturday hunt began at 11 a.m. Members of the Highland Park Community Church of Apalachicola greeted attendees by handing out pamphlets and bookmarks about the Easter holiday.

Sheriff A.J. Smith was there, along with the Easter bunny, as well as a bounce house and lots of food and music for the families to enjoy.
Every kid got a prize, with some of them winning the big stuff, like the World’s Largest Easter Basket.
