Youngsters will have no trouble hunting Easter eggs Saturday. The chief suppliers, two Easter bunnies, will be handing them out. The bunnies will pass out the free plastic eggs to children as they circulate through the Marion business district from 10 a.m. until noon. After the child receives the egg he will open it to find a special number inside. The child then takes the number to Marion stores to find a matching number. Stores will have numbers posted. Each number is worth a prize up to $5 in value. The event is being sponsored by the Marion Chamber of Commerce.
