Dueling Easter Egg Hunts Saturday in Emmaus

There are Easter egg hunts on both sides of Emmaus scheduled for Saturday at 1 p.m.

Need to take the kids somewhere to run around outside? Can't get your fill of hard boiled eggs? Either way, Emmaus is the place to be on Saturday, with head-to-head Easter egg hunts scheduled on each side of the mountain at 1 p.m. sharp. Both hunts will be held rain or shine and both should prove to be a lot of fun. Too bad you have to choose between them. Here are the details: Vera Cruz Easter Egg Hunt Saturday, March 30 at 1 p.m. Mystic Chain Park Ages 1-12 Hosted by the Vera Cruz Community Association Emmaus Borough Easter Egg Hunt Saturday, March 30 at 1 p.m. Emmaus Community Park Ages 1-10 Hosted by Emmaus Kiwanis Club

Upper Milford Man Charged for Poor Table Manners

Police say he cursed and spit inside restaurant.

Police weren't specific, but they said an Allentown man began cursing and spitting about 9:20 p.m. Feb. 14 inside Pickles Steak House at 3941 Chestnut St. His night probably didn't improve much after that either. Joshua T. Sewell, 27, of the 1300 block of 10th Street was charged with disorderly conduct for his actions, according to state police at Fogelsville. In another Upper Milford incident, police said a patron inside a township social club wasn't much happier two days earlier. It's unlikely his victim was either.
