Point Roberts kids hunt for eggs


 

 

"There are 1,500 eggs out there to find," said Point Roberts Primary School teacher Mary Edgley as she opened this year's  egg hunt, sponsored by the school's Parent Teacher Organization. Parents of the school's 15 students stuff and hide the hundreds of eggs for the annual event, which is attended by droves of primary and preschool-aged children from both sides of the border.
