Spring is two days away! March 20 at 10:46 a.m. marks the official arrival of spring in the northern hemisphere and after a delicious taste of several 75º-80º days I am ready for more. Mother Nature, however, seems to be saying, “Not so fast. I’m still in charge around here!”

Easter will be here before we know it so it’s time to dig out the kids’ Easter baskets and experience the fast-paced fun of local egg hunts. It is amazing to me how kids will scramble at lightning speed to gather eggs and deposit them directly into a basket but grabbing clothes off the floor and putting them in a hamper is a monumental challenge.

The Salisbury Township egg hunt will take place 10 a.m. March 21 at Franko Park, 1339 Black River Road. In case of inclement weather, a rain date of 10 a.m. March 28 has been set. This year you must register online at salisburylehighpa.gov/catergory/news/.

Trinity Memorial Lutheran Church, 535 E. Emaus Avenue, Allentown, will host a community egg hunt 10 a.m. to noon March 28. A grab-and-go breakfast also will be offered. Registration is required at linktr.ee/trinitymemorial.
