More than 100 kids hunt Easter eggs in cold weather

The cold and snowy weather didn’t stop kids in Pueblo from hunting for Easter eggs.

The 25th annual Rosemount Museum Easter Egg Hunt continued its tradition Saturday despite the frigid weather.

“If you live in Colorado, you are used to doing crazy things in the weather,” Museum Director Deb Darrow said.

This is the second time snow has hit the event, but for Elizabeth Wakefield this is the final time she will be part of the event. She said Mother Nature made it unforgettable.

“As doing it for the final year, it’s memorable and fun to do it in snow because, you know, it is something you will always remember,” she said.

Keith Hefley, who brought his daughter to the event, said the weather doesn’t bother her when she is going after the candy-filled eggs.

“Oh it’s great, she has a blast. Being in Colorado, we love the snow, we love the snow sports and all that stuff. It is no sweat off our backs if it snows; we will still hunt Easter eggs,” he said.

More than 100 kids took part in the hunt.

The museum had more than 3,000 eggs laid out for the event.
