Celebrate Easter With Annual Egg Hunt, Carnival and Breakfast

Junior Women's Club of Somerset Hills holds carnival and breakfast to benefit Valerie Fund.

Pink, blue, yellow, orange, green, purple and more. Thousands of pastel-colored plastic eggs housing goodies for the kids will dot the landscape at the Liberty Corner School next Saturday.
