Doylestown Easter Egg Hunt Set for Saturday

In a rite of spring that stretches back nearly seven decades, the children of Doylestown will flock to Henry Mercer's estate home on Saturday to find treasures of their own.

The Doylestown Easter Egg Hunt will return on April 7, 2012, on the grounds of Fonthill.

The American Legion Post 210 hosts the annual egg hunt, now in its 68th year.

Hunting starts at 1 p.m., and advice from old hands says "don't be late; the kids are fast."

Children will be grouped by age: Ages 3-4; 5-6 and 7-8.
