The Frontiersman and Fred Meyer teamed up for one giant egg hunt Saturday

More than 400 Valley children tore through shredded paper in search of Easter eggs Saturday afternoon at Fred Meyer, and a few of them were lucky enough to come away with a set of wheels for their efforts.

The Frontiersman/Fred Meyer Easter Egg Hunt, an annual event, attracted more than 400 youngsters.

Buried deep in the shredded "grass" were eggs stuffed with plenty of candy, as well as a few prizes.

Ed Russell, a 9-year-old Palmer boy, was the grand prize winner, and he was pleasantly surprised by his good fortune of finding the egg with the grand prize sticker on it.

When a new mountain bike was rolled out, the boy was speechless.

He was so excited, in fact, that he had a hard time spelling out his name as he glanced at the mountain bike.

Russell, who said he has never won anything before, waited on his new bike until his mother pulled their vehicle around -- he wasn't about to let the bike get out of his sight.

Three bicycles were given away -- one in each age group.

Groups of 15 were admitted into the "grass patch" at a time, for five minutes.
