• Friends of The Big Duck and the Flanders Northampton Volunteer Ambulance Corps celebrate the arrival of spring with an Easter Duck Egg Hunt at Big Duck Ranch, 1012 Flanders Road, Flanders. The free (but bring your own basket) annual event will be held on Saturday, April 2 at noon sharp. The rain date is Sunday, April 3. The grass field behind The Big Duck will be dotted with filled plastic “duck eggs” that children two- to nine-years-old can easily find. To make it a safe event, the children are grouped into three separate age groups. A prize basket is awarded to “The Good Egg” in each group who discovers the special egg, and Mother Goose will also visit. Both admission and parking for the event are free. Cars should enter at Otter Hole Neck Road, just east of The Big Duck, and park in the back of the field. For more information, call 631.284.3737 or e-mail friendsofthebigduck2020@gmail.com.
