The Community Renewal Easter Block Party featured more than 30,000 filled plastic eggs, including those left over from last year when the event was rained out twice, said C.R. Executive Director Brandon Dyer. After being started by local churches, Dyer said one of their members continued the event, which is in its sixth year. See full caption below.
