The Melissa Oshoway Memorial Easter Egg Hunt was held Saturday at Wayne Underwood Field in Grantsville.

Despite cold temps and snow flurries, children, parents and volunteers came out to the 13th annual event for children ages 0-12 years old.

John Oshoway and his wife Sue sponsor the annual event. The egg hunt has continued after the tragic death of their daughter, and is now named in her memory.

Two thousand plastic eggs were hidden - 1,000 each for the younger and older children. Assisting the Oshoway's this year was Amber Ganoe, June Godfrey, Rue and Sheila Brannon, Teresa Robinson and Dottie Nemitz.

The First Baptist Church "E-Lemonade-Ors" Relay for Life team sold food and drinks, with proceeds going to the American Cancer Society.
