DALTON — The Easter bunny greeted children with waves, hugs and “high-fives” Saturday morning and afternoon, March 26 at the Dalton Lions Club’s annual Easter Egg Hunt in Platt Park, following the Breakfast With the Bunny that morning in the Dalton Fire Hall across the street. Plenty of plastic eggs and candy were scattered around the small park for the little ones to gather in their baskets at the sound of the noon whistle.
