The hunt was on when the Longstreet Society opened the grounds of the Historic Piedmont Hotel to the public for the second annual Easter Egg Hunt on Saturday. Festivities included face painting, an arts and craft table, and a visit from the Easter Bunny before the actual event at the Historic Piedmont Hotel and Museum in Gainesville, located just off the intersection of M.L.K. Jr. Boulevard and Maple Street in Gainesville. “We just try to do what we feel like is good for the community and what Gen. Longstreet would have approved of us doing,” said Richard Pilcher, a volunteer for the event.
