While Easter is next weekend, many gathered this weekend to begin celebrating.

In Menands, kids got to enjoy arts and crafts, and story time at Village Hall. They played games and did some coloring.

In Clifton Park, the Twin Bridges Rotary Club held its annual breakfast with the Easter bunny at the Clifton Parks Elks Club.

Families got to enjoy a full breakfast of eggs, French toast, pancakes, tater tots, sausage, and bacon.

For the children, there were two Easter egg hunts, face painting, games, and pictures with the Easter bunny.
