EASTERN EGG HUNT: Eastern Michigan University President Susan Martin and Swoop help this young boy find some of the 720 colored eggs on the University House lawn April 9. Approximately 120 children and their families, invited through the Ypsilanti Housing Commission, attended the first-ever Eastern Egg Hunt. Other activities included making photo frames, getting a photo taken with Swoop, face painting, creating face masks and balloon hats, egg coloring, and international students who showed the children how their names looked in another language. In addition, a clown performed a magic show, a fire truck was onsite for children to explore and local police were available to talk with the children.
