Kids love holidays, and who can blame them? They get presents on Christmas. They get a feast on Thanksgiving. And they get candy on Halloween and Easter.

That brings us to activities going on ahead of Easter Sunday that should draw children’s attention: Easter egg hunts. Several locales are hiding eggs on their property and then will let youngsters loose to find the concealed treasures.

Here is a sampling:
