Eggs for breakfast, eggs for finding at Opportunity Village

On the field within the Opportunity Village walking trail lay 5,500 eggs Saturday morning, each filled with candy and other prizes.
What likely took volunteers hours to assemble took just minutes to be transferred into pastel-colored baskets and bags of all varieties, as children took to the field to hunt the plastic eggs.

Opportunity Living, founded in 1989, serves 68 clients in Lake City and Rockwell City. Clients use Opportunity Village, where the Easter events were located, for therapy, socialization and work, on a daily basis. Proceeds from the “Egg…Stravaganza” will be used for client technology, Coordinator of Staff and Resource Development and Community Relations Terry Watters said.
