National Poetry Month @ Windsor Library; April 7

April is National Poetry Month, and the folks at the Windsor Public library are not letting the month go by without celebrating with a special guest. Poet Joan B. Kantor will be on hand on Saturday for an afternoon of sharing her works, which deal with childhood, family, nature and art.

This program, scheduled for Sat., April 7, is free. Doors open at 12:30 p.m. The program begins at 1 p.m. and runs until 2 p.m. Call 860-285-1918 for more information.

Educational Easter Egg Hunt @ Northwest Park; April 7

Easter family fun continues this weekend with Northwest Park's "Whose Egg Is It?" egg hunt, which is so much more than the average egg hunt. The hunt features a short hike, during which children and their parents search for brightly-colored, treat-filled eggs that have been hidden along Northwest Park's trails. Hunters will be supplied with an egg chart to help identify the (artificial) bird eggs that are found along the way, and are to be placed in their appropriate nests.

Admission for this event is $3 for Windsor residents and $5 for non-residents. Call 860-285-1886 for more information or visit www.townofwindsorct.com to register. The hunt will begin at 11 a.m.
