Staff Report

There was a packed house at the Dillsburg American Legion, Post  26 Breakfast with the Easter Bunny on Saturday, April 6. Children ages 10 and under received a free breakfast and a chance to sit on the lap of Kristin the Easter Bunny and join her in doing the “Bunny Hop.”

Nothing matched the excitement of the indoor Easter Egg Hunt with 500 eggs filled with candy and small prizes. The preschool children were in one area and the school age children in another. Those who found a numbered carrot in an egg received a prize. Games and crafts followed the hunt.

Chairperson Deb Reed and her merry band of shoppers start early in the year to get all the items needed for the children to have a fun morning. Organizers thanked the many volunteers who coordinated and volunteered for the annual event.

Thirty-five children spent time celebrating the coming of Easter at the Dillsburg Jaycee Home on Saturday, April 6. Children played games, decorated Easter eggs, and made shakers and aluminum eggs.

Polar Bears improve to 4-0

Don't crown the Northern baseball team just yet, but give the squad some credit, the Polar Bears have done something that not even the 2011 state championship team has done: Open the season with seven wins.

At 7-0, Northern is off to its fastest start of the decade after defeating Milton Hershey (15-0) on Thursday, Dover (6-1) on Saturday and Camp Hill (3-1) on Monday.

The Polar Bears are no strangers to fast starts, as they began the 2011, 2015 and 2017 seasons with 6-0 records. But each of those teams, even the PIAA-caliber Northern squad of 2011, fell short in the seventh game.
