HAMPTON BEACH, NH – 03/21/2013 – With blue skies overhead on a beautiful spring day, thousands of people turned out for the Hampton Beach Easter Egg Dig. It had been postponed from March 23 due to snow impact from recent storms. Today was different though. It was the perfect day to search for candy-filled plastic eggs. Children were divided into two age groups (5 and under and ages 6-12) and a countdown kicked off the event. The beach was filled with thousands of eggs buried beneath the sand, and the Easter Bunny was on hand to meet and greet the children.

Two lucky girls who found a golden egg, Alicia Lewis and her friend Molly McGreevy from Hampton (pictured below) were the lucky winners of a special prize.
