@ Stamford Museum and Nature Center April 3rd

Children can hunt for eggs on a real farm at the 6th annual Egg Hunt on Heckscher Farm Saturday, April 3, from 10 a.m. to noon, at Stamford Museum & Nature Center. Children ages six and younger may bring their own baskets and hunt for the thousands of eggs that will be hidden all over the farm. Eggs will be replenished throughout the event, so everyone will get a chance to collect them. At the end of the hunt, eggs may be turned in for a goody bag. Details

for Junior Achievement of Southwest Connecticut

If you like to help kids, win prizes, and have fun, this fundraiser is right up your alley! On Saturday, April 24, more than 400 bowlers from area companies and friends will join forces to raise money for Junior Achievement of Southwest Connecticut at the 24th Annual Bowl-a-Thon. A Bowl-a-Thon works just like a Walk-a-Thon, but instead of walking you are bowling. It is a great opportunity to get together with co-workers or friends, to have fun while helping out Junior Achievement. It's just a $20 registration fee per bowler, which covers the cost of shoe rental and two games, and every Bowler that raises $100 will be eligible for door prizes which are given away every 5 minutes.
