Easter

West Michigan will host dozens of Easter Egg hunts this weekend. One of the largest, the John Ball Park Easter Egg Hunt, is in need of donations.

Thousands of kids hunted for Easter eggs in West Michigan over the weekend. Take a look at some of the fun at the Community Easter Egg Hunt in Byron Township on Saturday.

Spring chicks become very popular each Easter. Many children see them or handle them in feed or pet stores. Some families bring spring chicks home and raise them. The Michigan Department of Agriculture reminds us of the risks of handling live poultry.

It's Easter weekend, and we all know what that means -- time to eat some ham and get your crunk on. We've always said if you aren't risking an insulin coma, you aren't really drinking, so here are some Peeps-themed cocktails to prove you love Easter but hate your body...

Easter's right around the corner, so it's time to get into the holiday spirit. Create some awesome eggs, stuff yourself with Peeps--whatever floats your Easter boat. If none of this prep works for you though, we say take a cue from these Easter bunny babies.

Easter is coming! Easter brings a busy weekend filled with Easter egg hunts, brunch, church, family, and more. View our West Michigan Easter Guide and prepare your family for Easter 2013.

On March 23, families gathered at Byron Township's Community Center to hunt for Easter eggs, meet the Easter bunny and more!

Peep time is almost here!  You know...Peeps!  Those delectable, yellow, purple, green, or, probably any other color, little chick marshmallow treats we devour by the ton over Easter.

Easter is almost here.  And, one of the great traditions for Easter is coloring eggs. We all grew up coloring eggs for Easter.  And then, as parents, we spent many fun times coloring with our kids.

Easter is Sunday, March 31, but Easter egg hunts begin over a week before Easter. There are many Easter egg hunts around West Michigan. View our list and decide where to bring the kids for some Easter fun!

It's a sweet holiday, according to The National Confectioners Association. I said I was going to take it easy on the Easter candy this year, but I always put away some jelly beans.

(Amanda Loman/Grand Rapids Press) When our kids were kids.....they're BIG now.....we were always looking for something fun to do around Easter. Well, today kids of all ages can, among other things, hunt for the Easter Bunny.  And you know what?  They'll find him, or her, don't want to discriminate, on a train in Coopersville.
