We've got the state covered, so check out our posts on Easter Egg Hunts, Train Rides, and Fun Events in Litchfield County, Easter Egg Hunts in Fairfield County, and Central CT.  Enjoy a Pancake Breakfast with the Easter Bunny at Coventry High School, which also includes an egg hunt for 12 and under. Meet the Easter Bunny, make crafts and get a gift at The Shore Line Trolley Museum in East Haven. Danbury's Railway Museum has a similar event, where you can ride a vintage train out to meet him. Other egg hunts this weekend include Madison Surf Club for pre-K through 2nd grade, Woodbury's Hollow Park for 10 and under.

At All Saints Orthodox Church in Hartford, you can learn the art of Pysanky, the decoration of eggs with wax and natural dyes at  Eggstravaganza. New Haven's Elm City Market focuses on using spices, berries and vegetables to color eggs at the Natural Easter Egg Dip and Dye. If your children thrive on creativity, how about turning that into a great party? We'll inspire you with our post on Arts and Crafts Birthday Parties in New Haven County. 

If you missed out on St. Patrick's Day last weekend, you can still get into the green spirit at Saturday's Mystic Irish Parade and Danbury's St. Patrick's Day Parade on Sunday. Johnny's Jog For Charity in West Hartford is an Irish-themed 5k run/walk, inspired by young Johnny Moran, who has been battling an unknown neuromuscular condition since birth.  The race includes bagpipers, face painting, prizes for attire, and a post-party at McCladden's Irish Publick House. Proceeds benefit local children's non-profits who have helped Johnny's family. Madison hosts the Leprechaun 5-Miler, a flat, beautiful course along the coast. A two-mile walk, kids fun run and costume contest are also included, and the race funds go towards child abuse prevention. 

All of these races have me excited for summer! It is right around the corner, so don't miss out on signing your kids up for the perfect camp. We help you out with our comprehensive CT Summer Camp Guide, and you'll want to see our recent posts on Astronomy, Robotics and Science Summer Day Camps in Hartford County and Science and Nature Camps in New London County.
