NEW ULM– It was a busy Easter weekend with families hopping from one holiday event to the next.

Multiple Easter egg hunts were held throughout New Ulm on Saturday, and the Easter Bunny was at every one to greet the children.

The holiday festivities began at 10 a.m. in German Park with the Park and Recreations Easter Egg Hop. Families walked through German Park, collecting Easter eggs and candy and meeting some of their favorite literary characters; including Cat in the Hat, Winnie the Pooh and Tigger. The Easter Bunny was available for photos. Well over a hundred people attended the Hop.

Each kid attending the left with a goodie bag holding a snack, activities book, gnome craft and sidewalk chalk.

Park and Recreation staff were delighted to hold the event outside. In the event of rain or snow, the Easter Egg Hop is relocated indoors at the Civic Center.

Decked out in her rabbit ears, 1-year-old Reygan Roppe was one of many people who attended Saturday’s German Park Easter Egg Hop.

Recreation Program Supervisor Liz Malloy said she was determined to keep the event outside in the park. A few snowflakes fell in the early morning, but no storm materialized, and the temperature rose throughout the day, reaching into the low 40s by afternoon.

At the Best Western, the annual Spring Fling Craft & Vendor Show started in the early morning and ran through the afternoon. The New Ulm Craft and Vendor Events group holds several craft shows throughout the year, but the Spring Fling is an annual tradition, which also features an appearance from the Easter Bunny. Every kid in attendance was given their own set of rabbit ears.

Organizer James Haviland said of all the craft shows held by the group, the Easter show is among his favorite.

“It is fun seeing the kids interact with Easter Bunny,” he said.

Turnout for the craft show started strong, with a lot of customers in the morning.

The next craft show event is 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, May 14, in the 2nd N. and Broadway streets parking lot.

At 1 p.m. Schell’s Brewery kicked off an Easter Egg Hunt. It was the first Easter Egg Hunt ever held on the Brewery grounds. Based on the turnout, it could turn out to be an annual tradition.

A total of 250 Easter eggs were scattered around Schell’s gardens. Those attending the event could redeem up to three eggs for various prizes. The prizes included candy, free tours of the brewery, Schell’s shirts, discounts in the gift stores and drink tokens. Since it was a family event, the kids received free root beer when turning in drink tokens.

There were also 10 golden eggs scattered around Schell’s grounds. These eggs were a little harder to find. Anyone redeeming the golden egg received two free tours of the brewery and two free drink tokens.

All 250 eggs were recovered within the first 15 minutes of the hunt, but only six golden eggs were found in the first half-hour.

Franz Marti of Schell’s was excited with attendance. He said Saturday had some of the best weather all week. By afternoon the brewery garden area had dried up enough for a great Easter hunt.

Schell’s Visitor Center manager Curt Van Asten came up with the idea for an Easter Egg Hunt. He said they expected a good turnout but were surprised how many families attended the hunt.

Van Asten said next year they would at the very least double the number of eggs based on turnout.

‘SNL’: Bowen Yang’s Easter Bunny and Famous People Parodies Do Current Events Jokes in Cold Open (Video)

'SNL': Bowen Yang's Easter Bunny and Famous People Parodies Do Current Events Jokes in Cold Open (Video)

It’s Easter weekend and so it is that “SNL” kicked off its latest episode with an Easter-themed cold open. Well, ostensibly, as the Easter theme really just provided a different way for “SNL” to run through a grab bag of celebrity impressions and mildly amusing jokes about recent events without any real point other than “hey, remember this thing that happened?”

Also yes, James Austin Johnson’s Trump showed up because, we don’t know, apparently there is a law that says Trump is the only president “SNL” is allowed to notice anymore? But, Bowen Yang played the Easter Bunny, and he’s always great, and Cecily Strong’s impression of Marjorie Taylor Greene at least had some teeth, which was fun.

So, Yang’s Easter Bunny started it off with some jokes about how maybe he’s actually at Coachella on drugs, inroduces himself as the “freakiest man-sized bunny with no-backstory” who doesn’t use elf slave labor like Santa. Then he says that Easter is “about renewal and rebirth,” which is why he invited “people form all walks of life” to detail their hopes for Easter.

Tiffany Cross’ MSNBC Panel in Hysterics Over ‘Atlanta’ Scene Satirizing White People’s Nervousness Over Reparations (Video)

Of course, they turned out to not be from “all walks of life,” which might have been interesting, just from recent headlines. First up was Kate McKinnon as Anthony Fauci for some jokes about COVID-19.

Next was Cecily Strong as Greene, who had two pretty good jokes at the expense of the extremist right wing politician.

The first was, “I’ve been saying to my Muslim and Jewish colleagues, ‘happy Easter.”

The second came at the end of her appearance when she said “happy Easter and God bless Russia, I mean America.”

Next, Chris Redd came out as New York Mayor Eric Adams, playing him as a vaguely sexual harass-y weirdo. But, the joke had teeth when Redd mocked the way the NYPD and Mayor Adams have gloated about catching the Brooklyn subway shooter.

“We got him. We got the shooter. Sure it took 30 hours, and the suspect turned himself in, but we got him. Case closed,” Redd joked.

This was followed by Mikey Day as Elon Musk, who joked that he wanted to buy Easter for $43 billion peeps. Next was Chloe Fineman as Britney Spears, followed by Kyle Mooney as “Jesus Christ… just kidding I’m Jared Leto.” And finally, Johnson showed up to do his increasingly exhausting Trump impression.

‘Outer Range’ Creator Answers Burning Questions About Episodes 1 and 2

That’s about it. And you can watch parts of it Below.

But first, real talk: Johnson’s impression is quite amazing, we obviously think he has some talent. But it’s 2022. Literally, it’s 20 – [f-word]ing 22. It’s been 13 months since Joe Biden, a guy with many things to make fun of or even just notice exists and is running the country, took office. He’s even been in the news for something other than “calling in to Fox News and saying bigoted stuff and lies.” And Johnson, who by the way is very talented, could even do the impression.

Yet for some reason, “SNL” still does several-minutes-long *Trump* bits like it’s 2017 and we’re all still processing the fact that the electoral college exists. Who can say why but if we’re being honest, it would be nice to have like, even a month off. Like maybe limit Trump parodies to when he actually does something newly weird, or alarming, or tries to overthrow the election again, or when he inevitably runs in 2024.
