Volunteer organizers said Saturday's Eggstravaganza at Boothbay Fire Station drew the largest crowd to date. It was a bright day and temperatures were mild: Perfect weather for children, some dressed as rabbits, to be outdoors on an Easter egg hunt.

This year's golden egg finders were 2-year-old Cillian Murphy of Edgecomb and 7-year-old Emma Duncan of Old Orchard Beach. Each won a bag of chocolate and toy-filled delights.

Five thousand eggs were filled with holiday treats for the children by volunteers at Bay Landing and the station's Auxiliary volunteers.

Gavin Martin Foundation sponsored the event.
