Contestants were taking apart the furniture and climbing on the exercise equipment to get a higher vantage point. After 45 minutes of searching, the residents of The Reserve at Saluki Pointe had still not found the final egg, which held the grand prize: noise-canceling Beats headphones. 

The egg hunt is an annual event put on by The Reserve at Saluki Pointe. It was held inside the clubhouse this year because of the rain.

“We do an egg hunt usually every year,” Rachel Riggs, a community assistant at the Reserve, said during the event on April 19. “Sometimes they’re outside, but this time since it was supposed to rain, they’re just hidden in the clubhouse.” 

Riggs helped put the event together. 

“We wanted to do some fun spring events, especially since it’s getting close to the end of the semester for our student residents and we like to just do nice things and have fun prizes — keep morale up,” she said. “And I think it’s going pretty well so far. We still have three eggs remaining, including the big prize.” 

Some of the residents were successful in finding one of the 15 eggs and winning a prize, while others were not. Alec Lane came to the event and won a waffle maker.

“I got a notification that the egg hunt was happening, and I did it a few years back.

So, I was like, ‘I gotta go again,’” Lane said. 

It was Yulia Negreskul’s first time at The Reserve’s egg hunt. “I was wanting to win some prizes, and I never went on an egg hunt before,” Negreskul said. “So I thought it would be fun, and I wanted to meet more people, see who lives here.” 

Negreskul wasn’t as lucky and hadn’t found any of the last three eggs yet. 

Hours after the egg hunt had concluded, the Reserve posted on Instagram the final egg’s location — hidden inside the rent drop-off box in the clubhouse foyer.
