In addition to dyed eggs, children can find 12 golden eggs, each worth $2, and 12 silver eggs, each worth $1.

Bags of candy and plastic eggs with goodies inside also will be hidden.

The hunt is open to the public and is free of charge, with children up to 12 years old competing in three divisions.

Boy Scouts will hide the eggs before the hunt begins.
