Two Easter Egg Hunts to be Held This Weekend in Oxford

Events will be held on Saturday and Sunday in town.

The Oxford Parks and Recreation Commission's annual Easter Egg Hunt for Oxford’s toddlers to second graders will be held at 1 p.m. sharp on Saturday. The Hunt will be held on the  soccer field; it was postponed last week due to rain.

If there’s a question about whether or not it will be postponed again, call 203.888.2543, the Parks and Rec hotline. After the voicemail greeting answers, press 4 then Press 1 to hear an announcement about the event’s status.

The hotline will be updated after 10 a.m. You may also go to OxfordRec.com for updates.

Prizes will be given in different age categories. Don’t forget your camera! The Easter Bunny will arrive at 12:30 p.m. to visit with children and give out goodies!   

This event is free, but Parks and Rec will graciously accept non-perishable food donations to give to the new Oxford Food Bank (at Oxford Ambulance). Please be generous in giving to those in need.

For more information, call the Parks and Rec. office at 203.888.2543, ext 3041 or e-mail parkandrec@oxford-ct.gov. You may also see more about it at www.OxfordRec.com.  Please note the event is for Oxford residents only.

And on Sunday, the Riverside Community Church will host its annual Easter Egg Hunt. It will be held following the 9 a.m. Easter Sunday Worship service on Saturday at the church, 238 Freeman Road in Oxford. Area children are invited to attend.  For information call 203 736-9494.

The bear was spotted on Punkup Rd on Sunday and then on freeman Rd Monday morning. Advise to takeRead More bird feeders in and secure all trash cans.

When I visited Colorado, they have these special garbage cans to the bears from smelling the food.Read More We are going to need those soon..

Thank you Paul. I just thought of sending it to you last night. I am going to do my best toRead More videotape it today. I will send it to you as soon as possible. Thanks for your assistance. Renee

Hello. I didn't hear about this until the last minute, so unfortunately I cannot go. I'm sorry aboutRead More that. However, I was hoping someone would be able to take a video of the girls performing the song and send it to me. paul.singley@patch.com. Thanks and good luck, girls!

Great to see IMTI leading the way into the solar future! I went to that school specifically toRead More become a solar electrician. It was before they had a solar program, at the time it was the E-2 electrical course. I see America has a chance to build prosperity again if we will be forward-looking about our manufacturing and energy strategies. My company, Made In USA Solar LLC, aims to contribute to that in a small way, doing what we can by only installing materials made in USA. Congrats to IMTI on their ambitious solar plans!

C ZAC beware of liberal gun grabbers,they talk out of both sides of their mouths. When the bill wasRead More being pushed through CT. legislative body most said this was the first step. It is not over just yet.

Archie, Your wrong. Constitutions were written for a reason not to determine whether it's a livingRead More document or not. Politicians and or Anti-Americans only believe that the constitutions are a dead document. They are excuses to put forth an agenda. Without Constitutions this country would be chaos and we wouldn't have the freedoms we have today. Only in your eye's does the words not apply because you think government can prevent and do anything they want. It's the people that rule, NOT THE POLITICIANS!

That is looking at the Constitution as a dead piece of paper instead of a living document. LivingRead More Constitutions read as if they were written yesterday not over 250 years ago. Is the Constitution living or dead. When common sense and ordinary circumstances show that the words of the Constitution no longer apply then the document is dead. That is what occurs when weapons/arms have become so powerful and dangerous that having them available in the numbers you have in this country is tantamount to ultimate murder and chaos. This is definitely not what the Framers had in mind as shown by the words prefacing the 2nd amendment referring to a militia.
