Easter Egg Hunt Planned For April 15

ST. CLAIR SHORES — Hard to believe, but one of the most egg-citing times of the year for children is almost here. Easter arrives on April 16, but many communities, including St. Clair Shores, is planning on celebrating sooner.

The St. Clair Shores firefighters, in cooperation with the parks and recreation department, will host an Easter egg hunt on April 15. The event will take place starting at noon in Veterans Memorial Park at Masonic Boulevard and Jefferson Avenue. Firefighters are asking that kids bring their Easter baskets and parents should definitely bring a camera.

Several nearby communities will be getting in the Easter spirit, too.

On April 9, Shelby Township will be holding its own event from 1-4 p.m. at the Burgess-Shadbush Nature Center at 4101 River Bends Drive. Children will be able to decorate eggs (parents bring six hard-boiled eggs), go on an easter egg hunt, hear about the legend of the Easter bunny and play some fun games. Pre-Registration is required.

On April 22, Macomb Township will be getting into the act. It will hold its Egg Stravaganza at the Macomb Township Recreation Center from 10 a.m. to noon. The cost is $5 for residents and $10 for non-residents. The recreation center is located at 20699 Macomb Drive.
