UPDATE:  Saturday's forecast is sunny and mid-50s.  Wow! What amazing weather for our annual McGolrick Egg Hunt! As with last year, we'll have thousands and thousands of eggs. The hunts will run as long as eggs last. 

Families and kids will get to meet the Easter Bunny and enjoy craft activities and face painting by Lulu's Fun Party Rentals ( www.lulusfunpartyrentals.com).  Rock with DJ Natalie and Baby DJ School ( www.babydjschool.com). Sit for a professional Spring Photo Portrait by Eryn Hatzithomas Photography, featuring a beautiful spring-themed set ( www.ehatziphoto.com).  Check out a beautiful plant sale by PS 31 PTA. Bring your Easter baskets, wear your colorful bonnets and pack a picnic lunch.  Join us to welcome Spring!

The McGolrick Egg Hunt is a delightful community effort with parents pitching in to hide the eggs and run the hunts. PS 31 PTA, Boy Scout Troop 26 and St. John's Lutheran Church are among local groups joining us for a fun day in the park.

$15 child for the egg hunt ($20 at door), with certain other activities at extra cost. Buy your egg hunt tickets here: https://mcgolrick-egg-hunt-2016.eventbrite.com.  Avoid long lines & save!  Proceeds will help send local  youth to summer camp. Wonderful, right?

P.S. If the weather's bad, we'll move indoors to St. John's Lutheran Church at 155 Milton Street.  The time will also change to 2-4 PM. But fingers crossed, the weather forecast looks amazing!

What do action heros and local chess champs have in common?

Thanks to STREB, on Thursday, April 7, quite a bit!  Elizabeth Streb and her Action Heros demonstrate courage with their new show,"SEA" - a pure Action Explosion with human bodies careening through, around and above invented hardware.  And they are inviting the local chess scene to celebrate with them!

Join us! Every ticket purchased will help support IS 318, PS 31 and PS 139 in their quest for the state and national championships this spring! Do it for chess...do it for these awesome kids...do it because it will be a heck of a lot of fun.

$25 General Admission tx includes popcorn & soda for the show. Better yet, VIP tx will get you into a Pre-Show Party with an open bar and light dinner and open bar during intermission: $50 adults, $30 kids.  

Limited seating.  Hurry and buy your tickets here: https://chess-at-streb-fundraiser.eventbrite.com/.
