The scavenger hunt allowed families to stay in their vehicles and take photos of bunnies at various undisclosed locations. Families had to solve the clues provided in emails to find each bunny. Forty-five families signed up for the emails, and 14 teams found all the bunnies. Those 14 families' names were put in a raffle and three names were drawn for Easter baskets filled with prizes. There were no mass gatherings and everyone stayed in their vehicles with their families, according to Diana Moore, LRC director.
