Young's Jersey Dairy switching to plastic eggs for Easter hunt
DAYTON, Ohio (WDTN) – A local farm is breaking more than 40 years of tradition due to the community demand for eggs.
Young's Jersey Dairy annually hid over 10,000 real, hand-dyed eggs on the farm for its Easter Sunday Egg Hunt. This year, it is taking a temporary detour.
For the first time ever, the farm will use plastic eggs instead. Each egg will have a ticket for a free ride on Cowtherine's Carousel, redeemable on any visit.
Lawmakers look for ways to drop the price of eggs
When asked about the choice to change, John Young, the farm's CIEIO, joked about having the farm's mascot stand guard.
'We thought about having Barnabe guard our 10,000 real eggs 24 hours a day, but this seemed like a better approach,' said Young. 'While we know our classic hard-boiled eggs are our tradition, we feel this is the best choice this year.'
This year's hunt will be on Sunday, April 20. It will have three sections:
2 p.m. for kids ages 4 and under.
2:20 p.m. for kids ages 5 to 7.
2:40 p.m. for kids ages 8 to 10.
Instead of buying the 10,000 eggs to hard boil, the farm will give money to charity: $1,500 to The Foodbank in Dayton and $1,500 to Second Harvest Food Bank in Springfield.
Scouts lead community project for local foodbank
Attendees can meet partners from the food banks to learn about supporting others in the community year-round. Barnabe will be available for photos.
The farm expects to bring back the hard-boiled eggs for the 2026 hunt.

Woman pleads guilty to aggravated robbery at Urbana car dealership
Editor's Note: Video aired in 2023, after police arrested multiple people in connection to the armed robbery at Crispin Auto. CHAMPAIGN, Ill. (WCIA) — Nearly two years after the crime occurred, a woman has pleaded guilty for her role in an armed robbery at an Urbana dealership in 2023. On June 7, 2023, a Crispin Auto employee was robbed at gunpoint and a car was stolen. The next day multiple people were arrested in a McLean County town. Police officials said the car they were driving in was stolen from an Urbana dealership. Michaella Campbell pleaded guilty to aggravated robbery on Monday. She was ordered to serve 48 months of probation, 180 days in the Champaign County Correctional Center (with credit for 145 days previously served) and 100 hours of public service work. If Cook County approves, the probation will be served in their jurisdiction. WCIA previously reported that surveillance video obtained after the aggravated robbery shows the incident started with a test drive involving an employee and two White women. When the three returned to Crispin Auto, two Black men were recorded on surveillance footage running up to the car as the employee was getting out. One pointed a gun to the back of the employee's head and shoved her out of the way. Seconds later, the same employee was pepper sprayed by one of the women before she got in the car with the other suspects and drove away. Third defendant in U of I pro-Palestine protest pleads guilty to misdemeanor Three other people were arrested alongside Campbell, according to the Urbana Police Department. This included Michael Roberts, Deandre Young and an unnamed female juvenile. Roberts and Young previously pleaded guilty, in June and December of 2024 respectively, to aggravated robbery. They each received 48 months of probation, and a 180-day jail sentence. Roberts received 366 days credited for time served, while Young received 545 days credited for time served.

Neil Young invites Trump to summer tour, ‘if there is not martial law by then'
Neil Young has extended an invitation to President Donald Trump to attend his upcoming 'Love Earth' summer tour, though with a pointed caveat: 'If there is not martial law by then.' The Rock & Roll Hall of Famer, who has been feuding with Trump for years, made the offer Tuesday, June 3, in a post on the Neil Young Archives. 'When I tour the USA this summer, if there is not martial law by then which would make it impossible, let's all come together and stand for American values,' Young wrote. 'We will not be doing a political show. We will be playing the music we love for all of us to enjoy together. President Trump, you are invited. Come and hear our music just as you did for decades.' While the invitation may sound conciliatory, it reads more like a provocation. Trump was once a vocal admirer of Young, attending his shows and praising his performances. 'He's got something very special,' Trump told Rolling Stone in 2008, recalling Young's concerts at Madison Square Garden and his performances at Trump casinos. 'I've met him on occasions and he's a terrific guy.' Their relationship soured after Trump launched his presidential campaign and began using Young's song 'Rockin' in the Free World' at rallies without permission. In his latest message, Young warned, 'Our country and our way of life, that which our fathers and theirs fought for, is now threatened by our government. This is not what we voted for. This is our new reality. Our government is out of control, not standing for us. You can stand up for American values this summer, for our children and theirs.' Young's remarks come amid Trump's escalating conflict with musicians, including Bruce Springsteen, who recently criticized the former president during a concert in England. Trump has since called for investigations into artists like Beyoncé, Bono, and likely Young, over baseless claims of illegal campaign support for Vice President Kamala Harris. 'Bruce Springsteen and many others will be in our country this summer, there for you, playing your favorite music, songs like 'Born in the USA,'' Young added. 'We are proud to be who we are, and we must never let our government forget.' Young, who previously worried he might be barred from re-entering the U.S. over his criticism of Trump, is set to begin his 'Love Earth World Tour' in Europe this month, with North American dates following in August.

$24 Million PGA Tour Golfer a Late Addition to U.S. Open
$24 Million PGA Tour Golfer a Late Addition to U.S. Open originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The U.S. Open is just around the corner, and the field is finally shaping up. This year's edition tees off from June 12-15, and as always, the anticipation is electric. Advertisement The U.S. Open is one of golf's most prestigious majors, offering a jaw-dropping $21.5 million purse and with the way things are unfolding, drama is already in full swing. From seasoned stars to under-the-radar qualifiers, the race to make it to the final field has been nothing short of intense. Among those who earned their spot the hard way is Cameron Young. The 28-year-old PGA Tour star pulled off a thrilling late entry into the tournament by draining a clutch birdie putt in a five-for-one playoff at the Kinsale Golf and Fitness Club in Columbus, Ohio. Augusta, Georgia, USA; Cameron Young plays his shot from the fifth tee during the first round of the Masters Terada-Imagn Images This final qualifier, part of the famed "Golf's Longest Day,' featured 36 holes of pure pressure on June 2. The star-studded field included Max Homa, Rickie Fowler and other big names, all vying for the same single remaining spot. Advertisement Young's birdie on the first playoff hole not only secured his U.S. Open spot but also eliminated Homa, who four-putted his way out of contention. Fowler, meanwhile, bogeyed and didn't even make it past the first hole. Talk about clutch under pressure. Despite not having a PGA Tour win yet, Young has built an impressive resume — five top-10 finishes in majors from 2022 to 2024. As of now, he earned $24,225,101 in career earnings, including over $20 million on the PGA Tour and $4.1 million in majors. Not bad for someone still chasing his first victory.
