Easter Egg Hunts and Sunday Services

The National Weather Service predicts a weekend – at last! – that resembles spring more than winter; daytime temps should be in the low 50s with sunshine at least on Saturday. Sunday looks a little dicier as of 2 p.m. when there’s a slight chance of rain.

Early birds will be rewarded on Sunday with nicer weather and two unique sunrise services in the villages. Check out these and other select offerings in the area gathered here.
