Egg your house

Help your children experience the magic of Easter, without all the hassle, by contributing to a fundraiser organized by the Tomcats Thunder girls softball team.

For just $25, Easter bunnies will fill your yard with candy-filled eggs the night before Easter. The Tomcats Thunder team is made up of Islip Little League players from the Islip and East Islip community.

This is the team’s very first fundraiser of 2024, and the funds will go toward new uniforms. If you live in East Islip, Islip, Great River, Islip Terrace, or Oakdale, call or text (631)767-3134 to secure your spot. West Islip and Bay Shore residents are also welcome to inquire and may or may not be chosen depending on proximity. The $25 can be paid to @ElizabethRaem on Venmo.

Short Stacks for a Tall Cause

The East Islip Applebee’s location will be hosting their annual Easter Bunny breakfast event, Short Stacks for a Tall Cause, on Saturday, March 30, from 8 to 10 a.m.

The Easter bunny himself will be attending the breakfast, and children are welcome to take photos with the fluffy bunny.

The breakfast meal includes pancakes, sausage, scrambled eggs, and a beverage (coffee, juice, soda, or tea). Tickets are $12 for adults, $10 for children, and children under 2 are free. Proceeds from the event will benefit the Labor Council for Latin American Advancement of Long Island, an organization that is committed to empowering Latino working families by advancing social, political, and economic justice for Latinos in the United States.

To purchase tickets to the event, please call (516) 591-4428.

The annual Easter Egg Hunt at Wohseepee Park in Brightwaters is once again right around the corner.

Hop on down to the scenic park for the free egg hunt on Saturday, March 30, at 3 p.m. With the egg hunt being hosted the day before Easter, the whole family can enjoy the event and get into the Easter spirit, without impeding on the cherished and sacred family celebrations on Easter Sunday.

The annual egg hunt has an impressive turnout each year, as Wohseepee Park is the perfect location for kids to race around, searching for eggs hidden in plain sight and in the nooks and crannies at the feet of the trees.

The event is sponsored by The Bay Shore Lions Club and the Village of Brightwaters. The Bay Shore Lions Club has worked diligently for the community to help create a better Bay Shore since its establishment in 1931 by sponsoring charity fundraising events to benefit many local organizations.

The Easter Egg Hunt will be especially exciting this year as the Brightwaters Art Council will have an area for kids to color and decorate their own Easter egg coloring pages.

“We look forward to this opportunity for children to have a creative experience along with the Easter Egg Hunt,” shared president of the Brightwaters Art Council, Danielle Livoti. “Coloring is a wonderful way for kids to express themselves, and we love to see their talents!”

The children will be separated into two groups for two separate egg hunts, allowing every child a fair chance to collect as many eggs as possible. Children ages 3 and under will participate in the first group at 3 p.m., while children ages 4 and older will have their own egg hunt at 3:15 p.m.

The Easter Egg Hunt is truly the perfect outdoor activity for the whole family to enjoy as we all welcome spring, warmer weather, and of course, the Easter bunny.
