When the Mat-Su Valley Frontiersman hosts an Easter egg hunt, as it has for the last 10 years, it's no small event - this year, more than 500 egg seekers ages 2 to 9 searched long and hard at the Wasilla Fred Meyer store for hidden eggs. And while all went home with some candy, special prizes donated by Fred Meyer were handed out to the finders of specially-marked eggs. Three lucky hunters found the grand prize eggs and went home with bicycles. The age group grand-prize winners were 2-year-old Tanner Thornhill, 6-year-old Joseph Strange and 8-year-old Joshua Sampsell.
