Cover Story: An Old-Fashioned Egg Hunt - Since 1961, Don and Cleo Madden of Martell, Neb., have held an annual Easter egg hunt at their farm. What began as a small party for a Sunday School class has grown into a huge event and beloved tradition that attracts 700 local children. The Maddens, both 72, and their three adult daughters last year hid about 960 real eggs and 2,400 plastic eggs filled with candy in a 22-acre field. They also baked and decorated 500 cupcakes for the event.
