More than 10,000 plastic eggs filled with candy await youngsters up to 10 years of age during the annual Manteca Kiwanis Community Easter Egg Hunt.

The hunt starts at 11 a.m. sharp Saturday at the Northgate Community Park softball fields on Hoyt Lane off of Northgate Drive across from Neil Hafley School.

Each child participating in the free event will receive a raffle ticket as they go through the gate. The ticket is good for a drawing after the hunt for three bicycles - one for each age group - and a verity of toys.
