With Easter only 2 weeks away, bunnies, peeps, and pastel candies are popping up all over the place. It's also the time when many communities and organizations throughout the Hudson Valley hold Easter Egg hunts for the children in their neighborhoods.

With your life probably being pretty hectic, we thought we'd try to help and compile a list of Easter Egg hunts and Easter happenings throughout the Hudson Valley. We have tried to get information on as many events as we can, but if we missed one in your community, please let us know and we'll be happy to add it to the list.
