	VISUALLY IMPAIRED CHILDREN'S EASTER EGG HUNT April 16, 2011		2010 Egg Hunt	2008 Egg Hunt	2006 Egg Hunt	Events	Home
Each year, Qwest volunteers host an Easter Egg hunt for visually impaired children. The fun includes hunting for Easter eggs that beep so the blind children can find them, playing T-ball (the balls also beep), a visit from the Easter Bunny, and of course, meeting some very special dogs--our Guide Puppies! What a wonderful way to introduce these kids to the prospect of using a Guide Dog for mobility when they are old enough while socializing our pups with some wonderful youngsters. Plus, it's just a lot of fun! Afterward, volunteers & raiser enjoy a thank you breakfast.

A volunteer explains how the eggs "beep" so the blind children can locate them to a camerman from a local TV station.	The kids hunt for eggs, with the help of parents and Easter Bunnies.	Miranda & Zorba watch the fun.

The audible eggs are traded for eggs with candy in them. Who got the better haul?
