The Easter Bunny embraces Daxton Beacher, 9, left, during an Easter egg hunt at Iola’s Recreation Community Building Saturday. (Daxton’s younger sister, Dally, age 3, was more skeptical of the oversized bunny and kept her distance.)

Meanwhile, the Easter Bunny greets Maci Smith  with a few pieces of candy during the LaHarpe PRIDE Easter Hunt held at the city park.
