About 130 children and nearly as many adults joined the annual big Easter egg hunt in Lumsheden, setting a new record. Organizer Linnea Andersas says the event aims to get children outdoors for fresh air and lifelong memories. This year, adults hunted a golden egg amid changes from storm Johannes.
The Easter bunny has hidden eggs in Lumsheden's forests since 2017 for the big Easter egg hunt. This year set a participation record with about 130 children and nearly as many adults, organizer Linnea Andersas confirmed.
"It's a new record this year," Andersas said. She added: "We want to do something for the children. They get out, get fresh air and we create memories for life."
Unlike previous years, adults hunted a golden egg, and the area was marked due to risks from trees felled by storm Johannes.
Experienced hunters like sisters Astrid, 8, and Alva Wallin, 12, were excited at the start. "The eggs are very well hidden, in the slope and inside bushes," said Alva, who struggled long before finding hers. Astrid quickly succeeded by repeating last year's route, per Alva.
