All North Westside Community Members and families are welcome out to Westshore Estates Community Park on Saturday, April 8 from noon to 2pm, where 1700 Easter eggs are hidden all over Cantryn field for children of all ages to find and exchange for treats. Be sure to bring your basket!! Also bring your lawn chair as there will be a FREE community barbeque for all with hot dogs and burgers with buns donated by Cobs Bread on Anderson Way! Veggies burgers too!

The NWFR (North Westside Fire Rescue) have called up their friend the Easter Bunny who they will be escorting in to surprise the kids with some hops, hugs, and photos. The always popular bouncy horses will be back on hand and ran by our YA Youth Group. Pin the tail on the Bunny with prizes is being put on and sponsored by Maurice Greenwood. Come on out, celebrate, and make some memories with your North Westside Community!
