OSWEGO – The City of Oswego through the city Youth Bureau, in partnership with PJC Contracting, Tuts Hair Pyramid will host an Easter Bunny Drive by on Saturday, April 3.
The Easter Bunny will be escorted through various streets in the City of Oswego for kids to see and wave to. We will be handing out bags of plastic eggs filled with candy and some will have slips for prizes.
“Due to COVID-19 restrictions, our annual Easter Egg Hunt will not happen this year, hopefully we will be back in 2022. This gives the kids a chance to see and wave to the bunny and get some fun candy in their bags,” said Jennifer Losurdo of The Oswego City County Youth Bureau.

POMONA - You could still detect the smiles behind volunteers face masks gathered at Boulder Stadium as the Get Fresh drive-thru food distribution program hit a milestone.
The program and the Rockland Community Against Hunger food recovery initiative have given out 1 million pounds of food to local feeding programs since it ramped up deliveries during the COVID-19 pandemic. It s an amazing thing, said volunteer Sue Ann Roeser of Suffern, who donned Mardi Gras beads and a construction paper headband that had 1 million written on it. And wow, a million pounds of food we ve given.
The Rockland Community Against Hunger collaboration of local nonprofits and government agencies launched the Get Fresh program in 2010. The food recovery program was added in 2018.
