Community Turns out for Egg-Cellent Easter Fun

EASTFORD — The town’s Easter tradition continued on Saturday, March 28, as the Recreation Commission hosted its annual Easter Egg Hunt at Eastford Elementary School. Dozens of children gathered in surprisingly cold temperatures to hunt for eggs and enjoy some time outside looking for treats.
