April 4th Edition: Happy Easter!

This week's Shopper is our Easter edition, and we have several features and ads looking toward the event. On page 12, check out a comprehensive listing of area churches by town to help you decide where to observe the holiday this Sunday. Looking for more than a sermon? Check out this listing of local Easter Egg Hunts, available only on our blog!

 Greenville Chrysler will be hosting a "Huge Easter Egg Hunt", as promised in its ad on page 14 of this week's Shopper. The Hunt will take place on Saturday, at 11am, at the Dealership.

The City of Greenville will also host a Hunt - its annual "Easter Eggstravaganza" will take place on Saturday, beginning at 9:30am. There will be over 15,000 eggs, and hunters will be divided into age groups, with ages 0-3 hunting at 10am, and ages 4-11 hunting at 10:15. Hunting bags will be supplied by Hunt Regional Medical Center, and there will also be face painting, spring pictures by Walgreens and an appearance by the Easter Bunny. The Eggstravaganza will be held at the Greenville SportsPark. For more information, click here!

In Caddo Mills, New Life Church's Covenant Ranch is also hosting an Easter Egg Hunt on Saturday, for kids ages 0-12. The Ranch is located on FM 36, between I-30 and FM 1903. A map can be found here.

Wolfe City will also play host to a hunt, with the Wolfe City Kiwanis Club hosting one at 1pm on Saturday at Wolfe City Park. There will be separate events for hunters ages 2-3, 4-5, 6-8 and 9-12.

The Lone Oak Fire Department will hold an Egg Hunt for its community on Sunday. The Hunt is scheduled for 3pm at Buffalo Stadium.

East and West Tawakoni are also represented, with the East Tawakoni Police Department hosting it's Annual Easter Egg Hunt at the East Tawakoni Civic Center at 10am on Saturday, for kids ages 0-12. Shortly thereafter, the West Tawakoni Police & Fire Department will host a Hunt from 1-3pm, for kids ages 1-12. If you're in the area, that means you can attend both hunts! Unless your child is 0. Then you're out of luck.

If you know of another local hunt, make sure to share the information with the rest of our followers on our Facebook page!

Here at the Shopper, we hope our entire community enjoys the Easter holiday, however they choose to celebrate it. Whether you're attending a service, gathering eggs, sitting an unwilling child on the lap of a man in a rabbit costume or just pausing to spend time with your family, we hope your Easter Sunday is a pleasant one.
