Easter eggs hunt means a great deal to visually impaired children

Brittany Breen couldn't get enough Easter eggs.

"Are there any more?" she asked.

Brittany, 6, spent Saturday morning hunting for eggs during a special event for blind and visually impaired children at the University Park Village shopping center.

About 30 children and their parents came from Arlington, Weatherford and other area cities for the 11th annual event.

Before the hunt began, volunteers spread hay and hid hundreds of candy-filled eggs -- and special eggs outfitted with beepers -- in a parking lot.

The children were divided into groups so that everyone would get a fair share of goodies.
Shelby Edwards, 10, of Boyd said she wouldn't miss the hunt.

"It's fun; you get to hear the beepers," she said. "And you get to talk to the Easter Bunny."
