April 7, 2015 - Local children collected 10,000 candy and prize-filled eggs in one minute and 15 seconds Easter Sunday.

The Fairborn Chamber of Commerce, in partnership with the Wright-Patterson Air Force Base Company Grade Officer’s Association and Foy’s Stores, presented the 46th Annual Community Egg Hunt at Central Park.

Believed to be the longest running Easter Egg Hunt in the Miami Valley, various businesses, individuals and organizations made cash donations to help with the cost of 10,000 eggs, candy and the more than 2,000 prizes purchased each year for the children in age groups 1-3, 4-6 and 7-10.

After the hunt, the youngsters proceeded to the Fairborn YMCA gymnasium where each child was given a prize with some lucky participants winning bikes.
