PIQUA — Small groups of youngsters scoured here for Easter eggs over the weekend.

And heffalumps. And woozles.

While they didn’t seem to find any of the latter — even with their heffalump trap — it mattered not a whit to a small group of youngsters embarking on an egg hunt designed to celebrate, of all things, the iconic children’s book, “Winnie-The-Pooh.”

The brainchild behind the event, Piqua’s Rick Heiman, set up the course on a parcel of land he owns on the outskirts of town. 

It wasn’t quite as large as Pooh’s 100 Acre Wood — it’s closer to 5 acres  — but it was well sufficient to keep the youngsters, and their parents, enthralled from start to finish.
