Eggs have been symbols of birth and springtime since people started thinking in symbolic terms. Since becoming a mother, they have certainly taken on a new level of meaning for me. Spring also symbolizes warmer weather, better activities for young children, and an increase in smiles and joy all around.

And kids love hunting for stuff, always have, always will... so here are a few public egg hunts happening this weekend if you are itching for an activity that is free and fun for everyone:

Saturday, March 15th, 2008(with a Rain date of Sunday, March 16th, 2008)
Township of East Goshen
We’ll start off our day with breakfast with the Giant Bunny, courtesy of Chamber President, Rob Powelson. This breakfast event will begin at 9:00 AM, and be held at the Historic Building on Paoli Pike (across from the East Goshen Township Park) This event is for children ages 2 through 7 years.The Easter Bunny will be arriving on a Fire Truck at the Chester County Chamber of Commerce for the Annual Egg Hunt which will take place after the breakfast activities.
