The Hare Club For Men.” – Randy Marsh, South Park. Looking for a fun activity for the smaller kids? There will be an egg hunt at Maury Loontjens Memorial Library at 9 a.m. Please bring your own basket and/or bag though. You will hunt for eggs inside the library, before it opens up for the rest of the day.

Shameless self-promotion alert! Make your Good Friday a Very Good Friday by attending my office hour from noon to 1 p.m. Right now, I’m planning on being at the Coffee and Bagel Connection in Bonnet Shores. Feel free to swing by if you’d like to meet the guy behind Narragansett-South Kingstown Patch, or as the kids call me, Steve Patch or Mr. Patch.
