Children’s Easter egg hunt nixed because of unruly parents

POTTSTOWN, Pa. (AP) — A Pennsylvania volunteer fire company says it canceled this year’s Easter egg hunt for children because of “unruly” parents in past years.

The Norco Fire Company in North Coventry Township says on its Facebook page the annual event won’t happen this year.

Deputy Chief Chuck Hipple says there has been a recurring problem of some parents running onto the field despite being told not to and posing a danger to children. He says it’s not the majority of people but a few people “just can’t seem to let the kids have fun.”
