The Easter Bunny is coming early this year. Community organization Urban Dreams is hosting an Easter egg hunt this Saturday. On March 26 Urban Dreams will collaborate with the John R. Grubb YMCA in order to give kids in the area a fun-filled morning. Izaah Knox, Associate Director of Urban Dreams, says the hunt will be a blast for adults and kids alike. “It’s an egg hunt, but it also has elements of a block party,” Knox said. “The Isiserettes will be performing.” The festivities start at 11 a.m. and go until 1pm. In addition to the hunt, there will be food and snacks donated by local businesses. The Isiserettes, a drill and drum Corp. made up of boys and girls from Des Moines will perform. A live DJ will be in attendance as well, so be ready

Welcome to the 71st Annual Huntley National Association Reunion. As I prepared for this year’s Minneapolis weekend, I read many booklets from previous years. One common theme linked every booklet: pride for the Huntley name and annual reunion.
All the residents gather in Tallmadge park at the beginning of the day, until night falls. It starts with a breakfast from the chamber of commerce and also mcdonalds, and a flag raising ceremony. There are different bands that play in the band stand, and many different tents where the locals can sell things, in a yard sale type way. There are also rides, and many trailers that sell fair food in them such as cotton candy, corn dogs, and fried dough. At night usually around ten, there is the annual firework show, which lasts about a half hour. It is one of the days where Mechanicville residents can get out and see each other and socialize with old friends, or a great activity to bring your kids to on a hot summer July day.

It usually starts with a Grand Entrance which tends to be very ceremonial with flags including various tribal flags, Pow Wow flag, the American Flag.

In summary, the parade included the police department, tractors, modern cars, floats, marching units, school bands, school clubs, and sport teams from different areas. The parade even carried the delta fair queen and maids. My favorite section of the parade were the floats considering some people get so creative decorating. The floats were awarded. First place won $1000, second place won $600, third place won $450, fourth place won $350, and fifth place won $250. Some people bring in their competitive side, which makes it really amusing to watch.
In the story Christmas Hunt, by Borden Deal the theme is all good things come to those who wait. The story created a rollercoaster of feelings for me from frustrated, to nervous, to excited, to sad, and finally, to happy. The main character, Tom, who is a 10 year old boy thinks he is ready to go on the Christmas hunt just because, he was 10. In the story Tom and his father say, “I’m old enough to go on the Christmas hunt,” said Tom. His father laughed and said, “At ten?” “I’m afraid not.” Tom said, “But.” His father said “No,” in a way Tom knew, that was final. After that, Tom decides to sneak out and go out hunting turkeys with his dad’s gun and his dad’s dog Calypso Baby. When the Tom and Calypso Baby are hunting and he fails the first time, Calypso Baby loses her excitement because Tom misses the turkey and the second time misses Tom has to convince Calypso Baby to do it again, but this time he accidently shoots Calypso Baby!
In the book The Christmas Hunt by Borden Deal. I thought the theme was that some things take time.
