  • The Bellingham Sportsman's Club (360 Lake St., Bellingham) will hold its Annual Easter Egg Hunt on Sunday, April 17 at 1pm. The rain date is Saturday, April 23. Children up to the age of 12 are invited to attend, but organizers have a good way to make the hunt fair. One group is for ages 5 and below (eggs can be found with ease) and a second group is for the older kids (eggs are more hidden). There are hard-boiled eggs and candy-filled plastic eggs. Prizes will be awarded. For more information, call 508-883-3440 or e-mail the club at bscma@comcast.net
  • The town of Cumberland will host its annual Easter Egg Hunt at Diamond Hill Park on Saturday, April 16 at 11am. Rain date will be Sunday, April 17. Kids get to take a free hayride and say hi to the Easter Bunny. For more information, call Parks and Recreation at 334-9996.
  • Do something good for others and have fun at a fundraising event being held on Saturday, April 16 from 2pm to 4pm at the Adirondack Club in Franklin (800 Chestnut Street). A local family is raising money to support the Heart Association. The event is free.

  • Enjoy a free concert on Saturday, April 16 at 11am (55 Rhoades Ave., East Walpole). Rick Goldin's lively, interactive and humorous children's songs have made him one of the most popular children's entertainers in New England.
