CAPE MAY, N.J. – No matter when Easter weekend happens - and this year it's incredibly early - it always marks the unofficial switch between seasons.

Spring, finally is here! Let's pull out our pastel colored clothinbg adn go hunting for eggs.

Easter Egg Hunts

Speaking of egg hunts, Cape May has one, so does Avalon and so does Ocean City. Wildwood is hosting three.

Saturday at 10AM the Cape May Elementary school field will be filled with eager egg hunters.

Wildwood Egg Hunts

Wildwood has two egg hunts Saturday: The Greater Wildwoods Jaycees Easter Egg Hunt at noon on the Beach at Lincoln Avenue and the Greater Wildwoods Elks Lodge Easter Egg Hunt on the beach between 15th and 17th Avenues in North Wildwood.

Sunday, a third hunt takes place in North Wildwood on the beach at 22nd Avenue. That one's sponsored by Lime Rickey and Ed’s Funcade.

All Easter Egg hunts are free and open to kids under 12.

Easter Bonnet
by Irving Berlin

In your Easter bonnet, with all the frills upon it,
You'll be the grandest lady in the Easter Parade.

I'll be all in clover and when they look you over, I'll be the proudest fellow in the Easter Parade.

On the avenue, 5th Avenue, the photographers will snap us,
And you'll find that you're in the rotogravure.

Oh, I could write a sonnet about your Easter bonnet,
And of the girl I'm taking to the Easter Parade.
