EASTER EGG HUNT
The Easter Bunny made a visit to Baldwin Borough on March 23rd . Despite the winter-like weather , 120 children and their families came out to attend the event and fun was had by all !
Kids decorated Easter bags with the Baldwin Library and then hunted for Easter eggs in the grass around the Municipal Building . The log cabin was open for tours ( and warmth from the fire !) courtesy of the Historical Society . The Kiwanis Club set up an Easter obstacle course for kids to jump , skip and hop through . Eat N ’ Park on Rt . 51 generously donated bunny Smiley cookies for everyone to take home .
Last but not least , the Easter Bunny himself was available for photos , dancing and giving high-fives . A big thanks to everyone who braved the cold to make this a great event for all !
