Well, this was more than a little unexpected. There are at least 7 retailers who have announced they will be closed for a 24-hour period in Missouri during a time when they were previously open.
My advice is to take this news with a healthy dose of skepticism. It's a claim that a popular Easter candy sold in Missouri and Illinois has been linked to cancer.
Do you want an Easter Egg Hunt that is bigger and better than what your small-town park district or church is offering? If you do then you need to check out the Spring Egg-Stravaganza in Illinois which was named one of the Best Easter Egg Hunts in the US.
Along with the usual array of Maundy Thursday, Good Friday and Easter services at churches around the area from Thursday night through Sunday morning, there are other traditional Easter events this weekend worthy of mention.
