Had the same thing happen at a small town egg hunt. Grown adults pushed empty strollers into the field and worked with their kids to snatch up all the eggs. While my little one only was able to get one egg that another kind kid gave her when he noticed her basket was empty and she was crying.
There wasn’t even anything of value inside the eggs. Just your typical candy and religious stuff.
Had a much better time at this years small secular group hunt where the organizers made sure that only the kids hunted, they were only allowed to fill their one bucket, and were reminded to pay attention to each other and make sure everyone got eggs and had a good time.
My sister made an adult easter egg hunt with dollar bills, one random 20, and a few 5s. My aunt raced me fo an egg, i got it and she fell down and broke her arm. Tried saying i pushed her when my entire extended family could see that i didnt touch her. My girlfriend found the 20 and 2 of the fives ^ _ ^
This does not surprise me. All of these big community Easter egg hunts in my experience are like this. Adults charge on to the field to ensure their kids get some eggs. Unless adults are kept off the field somehow guaranteed this happens every time. Now I stay away from these events. Rather hide some eggs in the house and let my kids find them :/
