Don’t be late to the Rec-reation Department’s an-nual Easter Egg Hunt, which will be held on April 15 at 1 p.m. sharp.
I always stress the im-portance of getting to the Goshen Sports Complex early because once that horn blows promptly at 1 p.m., the abundance of candy and eggs just fly into the children’s baskets. You won’t get any if you’re late.
Make sure to bring a basket or bag and your camera.
