The Easter bunny and his helpers were kept busy on Martha's Vineyard this weekend. Brightly-colored eggs were carefully hidden in fields, trees and beaches from Chappaquiddick to Aquinnah, waiting for children to find them.
In Edgartown the Easter bunny himself made an appearance as children roamed around the Edgartown Light for the Harbor View Hotel's Easter egg hunt. Up-Island, children in their Sunday best grabbed baskets for an egg hunt after services at Chilmark Community Church, and over at the Agricultural Hall children roamed the grounds after West Tisbury Congregational's community service. At Vineyard Gardens, the Easter bunny and egg hunters roamed around the nursery to look for colorful eggs among the spring flowers.
