Dyker Heights — Hundreds of young detectives searched high and low through Dyker Park for hidden Easter eggs and, by the end of the morning, all of the eggs had been recovered by the determined youngsters.
The Easter egg hunt, co-sponsored by the 13th Avenue Merchants Association, Dyker Heights Civic Association, state Sen. Marty Golden and U.S. Rep. Michael Grimm, provided a great day out for families with young children.
