Scope and content
The traditional hunt for Easter eggs in Wright Park was held on April 12, 1968. Besides the colorfully dyed eggs, there were special gold, brown and silver eggs stuffed with gift certificates hidden within the park. Five hundred children had been expected to attend the festivities sponsored by the Hilltop Multi-Service Center, a unit of the Tacoma-Pierce County Opportunity & Development, Inc. Once it was determined that more children would be attending the hunt than first anticipated, a plea went out via the News Tribune for the public to "Help-Your-Tacoma-Bunny" with more eggs. In the scene pictured above an unidentified group to children search through the leaves that covered the park's grass, including a little girl who was being assisted by an older boy. Photograph ordered by the Tacoma-Pierce County Opportunity & Development, Inc.
