DANA POINT, CA — The city is holding an Easter Egg decorating contest for Dana Point youths up to 12 years old as part of its Easter-time activities.

The contest is open until April 11, and Dana Point officials are looking for the most creative artistic creations of an Easter Egg.

"Think outside the box and use items from around your home or yard," Dana Point officials said. "Bedazzle an egg, use play dough, bake an egg-shaped cookie and decorate it, use crayons, markers, glitter - the possibilities are endless."
