FORECAST. THANKS. WELL, DESPITE THE SOGGY DAY, IOWANS CELEBRATED EASTER SUNDAY TODAY AND ����vlog’S NICOLE TAM SHOWS US THE SIGHTS AND SOUNDS ALL AROUND THE METRO. GOOD MORNING. CLYDE COSGROVE. GOOD MORNING. HAPPY EASTER, HE IS RISEN! MANY PEOPLE STARTED EASTER SUNDAY AT CHURCH. IT’S THE ONLY THING THAT STAYS HONORING THE SIGNIFICANT RELIGIOUS HOLIDAY. SOME CHURCHES ADDED EXTRA SERVICES TO ACCOMMODATE LARGE CROWDS. IT’S A BUSY DAY AROUND TOWN FOR LOCAL RESTAURANTS. HOLIDAYS MEAN A CHANCE TO SHAKE THINGS UP. WE DID OUR FIRST EVER RESERVATION SYSTEM AND OUR FIRST EVER BRUNCH BUFFET, AND IT’S BEEN PRETTY SUCCESSFUL SO FAR. PLANNING A SPECIAL MENU AND EVENT FOR STAFF AT EITHER OR. TAKES ABOUT THREE MONTHS. COMES DOWN TO ADVERTISING BECAUSE WE DO SOMETHING A LITTLE DIFFERENT ON THOSE HOLIDAYS, AND SO IT TAKES A LOT OF TIME TO GET THE WORD OUT TO THE PUBLIC SO THEY KNOW WHAT’S GOING ON. THE WET WEATHER CHANGED PLANS FOR BIG GROVE BREWERIES ANNUAL EGG HUNT, BUT IT WAS STILL AN EXCELLENT TIME FOR THE YOUNGEST KIDDOS. THEY’RE JUST HAPPY TO GET ONE EGG, SO WE’RE JUST HAPPY TO PROVIDE THE EXPERIENCE TO ANYONE WHO WALKS IN. REALLY GREAT TO SEE HOW HAPPY THEY GET AND THE SMILE LIGHT UP ON THEIR FACE. IT’S NOT JUST FOR KIDS. THERE’S ALSO AN ADULT EGG HUNT WITH SPECIAL PRIZES LIKE FREE BEER. ORGANIZERS SAY THAT THOSE HUNTS CAN GET COMPETITIVE. OH MY GOD, I SAW THAT AT FIRST. AND LIKE ESPECIALLY WITH GROUPS THAT COME TOGETHER, THEY’RE LIKE, I BET I CAN GET MORE EGGS THAN YOU. WHETHER YOU’RE PICKING UP AN EGG OR A GLASS OF BEER, THERE’S SOME EASTER FUN FOR EVERYONE. NICO
