The Easter Bunny paid a visit to the Optimist a few days early this year and hid some Easter eggs in the paper! Find the right one in our Virtual Easter Egg Hunt and enter to win a gift basket of goodies valued at approximately $300 from Thrifty Foods in Tsawwassen.

Keep an eye out for the eggs, which are hidden throughout the paper. When you find one, simply scan the page using the Layar app on your Apple or Android smartphone. When you find the right egg, you will be able to automatically send us an email from your phone. Just include your name and contact information and you will be entered into a draw to win the gift basket.

Layar uses your iPhone, iPad or Android smartphone or tablet to recognize images in the Optimist that have been enabled for augmented reality.

It translates these images into buttons and notifications on your device's screen, allowing you to instantly view related videos and photos, share articles on social networks, and even enter contests.

It's easy to use. Start the app, point your phone's camera at the page and tap the screen. Layar's interactive buttons will appear.

The free Layar app can be downloaded from www.layar.com or from the app store.

Contest closes at 5 p.m. on Monday, April 21. The winner will be drawn on Tuesday, April 22.
