The big egg hunt starts at 10, with different areas for kids by age and accessibility. Families should bring their own baskets. Along with the hunt, visitors can see the Easter Bunny, enjoy balloon artists, magic shows, train rides, and inflatables.

Investigators say alcohol likely played a role in a crash late Wednesday night in Worth Township. Deputies say a 21-year-old man from Burtchville ran a stop sign at Galbraith Line and St. Clair Roads around 10 p.m., when his Jeep was hit by a westbound Chevy Malibu driven by a 23-year-old Sandusky woman. The Jeep ended up in a ditch. The man, who wasn’t wearing a seatbelt, was taken to McLaren Port Huron Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. The woman wasn’t hurt. The Sanilac County Sheriff’s Office is still investigating.

The St. Clair County Health Advisory Board voted Wednesday to back a staffing shift at the county health department. The plan replaces a nurse practitioner who’s leaving next month with a deputy physician assistant, a move aimed at keeping clinics running and reshaping leadership. Medical Director Dr. Remington Nevin says he’ll boost his on-site hours to help fill the gap during hiring, which could take three months. Officials say the change won’t raise costs since it refills an existing job. The proposal will be reviewed in early April.
