olding an egg hunt for children is common in many communities, but in Terre Hill, organizers like to go above and beyond. As in the past, two egg hunts will be held on the same day - one designed for children age 10 and under and another evening event for those age 11 and up.

3 p.m. At 1 p.m., the egg hunt for children will begin. According to organizer Noah Keckler, thousands of eggs will be set out in four areas for different age groups. Eggs will be filled with candy, coins, and prize vouchers. “There will be prize baskets for
kids in every age group,” said Styer. At 1:45 p.m., local juggling group The DKers will give a free show sponsored by St. John’s Center United Church of Christ. Later that same day in the park, the Terre Hill flashlight egg hunt will be held for older children
and adults. The snack window will open at 7 p.m. offering the same food options that will be available earlier in the day. At 8 p.m., organizers will release participants to gather the thousands of eggs placed throughout the park. Eggs containing candy See Terre Hill Park pg 6
According to Pamela Hasse, one of the English as a Second Language (ESL) teachers with the Zeltenreich Reformed Church ESL program, individuals working to learn English get “lots of listening practice in day-to-day life.” “(What) they need is a safe environment to practice English, (specifically) targeted skills such as grocery shopping, going to the doctor, or applying for a job,” she said. Zeltenreich’s ESL program, which began with an intake session on Feb. 6 with classes beginning on Feb. 13, offers that time to students at the church, 752 Hollander Road, New Holland, each Tuesday from 7 to 8:45 p.m. Currently, the program has two classes running with two teachers in each class until the middle of May. Classes will then begin again in September. The program’s ongoing enrollment allows students to begin at any time during the session. “We have students from Africa, South America, Mexico, and Eastern Europe,” said Pamela, who noted that the number of classes may grow as needed. During the intake session, students were assessed on See Church pg 3

“The flashlight hunt is a very unique event, and it really brings out a crowd.” The Terre Hill Easter egg hunt for children age 10 and under will be held in Terre Hill Park, 210 Lancaster Ave., Terre Hill, on Saturday, March 30. Children are welcome to bring their own basket to the free rain-or-shine event. On the day of the hunts, the Pavilion 1 food stand will open at 11:30 a.m. to sell burgers, hot dogs, and soup, along with hot chocolate, coffee, and other beverages. At noon, a small petting zoo will open. “There will be bunnies and sheep for sure and maybe more (types of animals),” said Dan Styer, who is helping to organize the event.
