Easter on the Green
Written By: Ann Self - The Village Green | Issue: 2015/04 - April
Hop on over to The Village Green during Easter Weekend for two treasured community traditions. The Village Green hosts more than 100 events each year, many of which enhance the lifestyle of the Cashiers area for residents and visitors alike.
The Fifth Annual Easter Egg Hunt, sponsored by S’more Kids Klothes, will begin at 11:00 A.M. on Saturday, April 4, for children 10 years old and under.
“Bring your own basket to the Gazebo near The Village Play, and be on time!” says Ann Self, Executive Director of The Village Green.
Hundreds of Easter eggs will be scattered around the park for hunters who will be divided according to age. Activities will also include a free hot dog lunch and visit with the Easter Bunny at The Village Green Commons. An Easter bonnet contest for girls concludes this egg-citing event. Bonnets will be judged on creativity and presentation.
The yearly Easter Egg Hunt for children is organized by Sharon James, the owner of S’Mores Kids Klothes in Cashiers.
“It is always fun to see the sheer joy on the children’s faces.” says James.
A bit of advice is to bring your camera to capture that memory.
“The Village Green is proud to partner with Sharon James for the Easter Egg Hunt,” says Self. “She shares The Village Green vision to provide opportunities to enrich the quality of community life.”
Another such opportunity will be the next day on Easter Sunday. Cashiers area churches will conduct the Community Easter Sunrise Service at 7:00 A.M. on Sunday, April 5, at the Gazebo and Lawn of The Village Green. Everyone is invited to celebrate Easter with music and scripture as dawn breaks over the mountains.
“This service is always an uplifting way to celebrate Easter and the gift of new life,” says Self.
Those attending are encouraged to bring a lawn chair.
The Village Green provides a beautiful, free public space, however the nonprofit organization that operates the park depends on contributions to maintain and provide such an exceptional venue for the community.
