5 Things: Spring Snow in the Forecast?

1. Find ... those ... eggs! Spring fever will spread with the exciting activities at this year’s Annual Our Promise to Nicholas (OPTN) Easter Egg Hunt scheduled for Saturday, March 23, from 9-11 a.m. at the NH Sportsplex in Bedford. All things bright and beautiful will return with this popular children’s celebration of Easter, now in its 5th year. The event benefits the OPTN Foundation’s mission for finding a cure for Batten Disease. This, currently fatal, neurodegenerative disease afflicts several area children, including Bedford’s own 9 year old Nicholas Dainiak.

2. The race to 1,000. The Windham Patch Facebook page has surged to 928 Facebook 'Likes' last week, but Bedford Patch picked up 39 Facebook followers in the last seven days to get to 839. Now, I need your help to catch up to Windham Patch Editor Michael Ryan before he hits 1,000. After all, on the line, thanks to our friendly wager, are dinner and drinks at River Road Tavern in Bedford or the The Common Man in Windham. Click here to 'like' Bedford Patch on Facebook, and thank you for your help! - Ryan

3. The weatherman says ... The forecasted high today, according to Weather.com, is 39 degrees with a partly cloudy morning and a 30-percent possibility of snow showers developing in the afternoon.

4. Graduation date is set. Bedford High School Commencement Ceremonies have been scheduled for Saturday, June 15 at 10 a.m.
