Happy Hunting!
Bunnies, bubbles, and baskets...fun was had by all at the 14th Annual Oconee County Easter Egg Hunt!
Saturday’s cloudy weather was brightened by the smiles and laughter of hundreds of beautiful children filling the Youth Fields of Oconee Veterans Park for their first hosting of the 14th Annual Oconee County Easter Egg Hunt.

Easter is only a couple of days away, and if you don't have a lot of time to dye eggs to decorate the table, you may find an alternative solution at the Oconee Farmers Market. Melissa Powell of Oak Leaf Farm in Bostwick sells a selection of free-range eggs that naturally come in a variety of colors.
