HERMISTON â The Cotterell sisters, armed with masks, a cellphone flashlight and Hadleyâs self-proclaimed ânight vision,â clutched their bags as the countdown commenced.
In the moments before 8 p.m. on Friday, April 2, the sisters, Lucy, 11, and Hadley, 8, were planning their strategy for collecting the most eggs as they buzzed up and down the sideline of the fields at Butte Park ahead of the annual Flashlight Easter Egg Hunt.
âOver there they have more eggs spread out,â said Lucy, of one of the two fields of eggs. âExcept theyâre going to be picked up quicker because theyâre not spread out as much as these are.â
