When You SHOULD Put All Your Eggs in One Basket!
Easter is right around the corner, and after the brutal winter we’ve endured, we’re due for a warm one! That means the kiddies can hunt for Easter eggs outside without freezing their bushy tails off. Dig out your baskets from the basement and check out this list of some eggs-cellent local hunts that are sure to bring smiles to everyone’s faces. I strongly suggest you arrive early since parking can be tricky at popular hunts, and most of them separate age groups so you have to find your child’s appropriate section upon arrival.
When: April 5th
Where: Cranford Community Center
Featuring: Breakfast with the Bunny
What’s more exciting than lunch with a leopard, or dinner with a dingo? Why, breakfast with a bunny, of course!
The Cranford Junior Woman’s Club is once again hosting the annual “ Breakfast with the Bunny,” on Saturday, April 5th, at the Cranford Community Center at 220 Walnut Avenue. Families can enjoy some breakfast with local neighbors and family, as well as some photo time with the Easter Bunny. There will be two seatings to choose from, the first at 9:30 AM, and the second at 11:00AM. Tickets are $6.00 (plus a $1.00 convenience fee) online at the CJWC website , or can be purchased at the Cranford Public Library (224 Walnut Avenue) or at Periwinkle’s Fine Gifts (17 North Union Avenue), through March 31st. Advance tickets ARE required for both parents and children.
The Cranford Junior Woman’s Club is a service organization of Cranford area women dedicated to the enhancement of the community and its residents. Since its installment in 1949, they have used multiple mean to support, aid, and promote public improvement for the benefit of the township and state. And they are great friends with the Easter bunny. Mention them, and he may give you some extra jelly beans.
