"What's Happening in and around Castle Hills"
It is a busy month for Castle Hills especially around the village shops. Below are some of the months activities.
Did You Know?
While Easter is a very important religious holiday for some people, the Easter Bunny has it's own history.
History.com reports that it was first introduced in the 1700s by German immigrants to Pennsylvania, who reportedly brought over their tradition of an egg-laying hare named "Osterhase" or "Oschter Haws" from the Old Country. Legend has it, the rabbit would lay colorful eggs as gifts to children who were good, so kids would make nests in which the bunny could leave his eggs and even sometimes set out carrots in case the hare got hungry. For the rest of the history click the image below.

Almsbury Park is reopen after getting a facelift. The renovations include new playground equipment, complete with slides, swings, and climbing features, catering to both younger and older children. Additionally, shade structures with accompanying tables and benches, along with fencing, were installed to ensure compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act at the park.
