Easter Egg Hunts are all the rage with the kids this spring season and Southeast Florida does not disappoint.  Easter falls on Sunday, March 26, 2016 and kids are gearing up for the bunny’s arrival.

The word Easter has an interesting history of origin.  To some it is the celebration of spring’s arrival.  To others it is a religious holiday signifying deliverance.  

The Easter egg came to be based on fertility lore.  The egg was a symbol of spring.  The folklore then stuck and the Easter egg came to the United States. The bunny had its origin in folklore too.  The bunny never had religious symbolism.  He was used as a symbol of fertility.

Jupiter and Palm Beach Gardens area residents are very familiar with Donald Ross Road and Ellison Wilson Road. Beautiful gated communities such as Bears Club, Trump National, Frenchman's Reserve and Frenchman’s Creek line the busy street. However, do you know who or what the busy thoroughfare’s namesake is?

Ellison Wilson was a…

Busch Wildlife Sanctuary seems like a hidden gem in middle of Jupiter, Florida. At Loxahatchee River District, this sanctuary is bringing a lot of visitors especially for spring breakers! It is a refuge and nature center for Florida wildlife with kid-friendly trails throughout the woods and wetlands!

Busch Wildlife Sanctuary is not a zoo; it is a non-profit organization that runs fully on donations and helping the wildlife. Every animal in the entire sanctuary came as a rescue. “Every animal has a story. Every animal came to us because they had nowhere else to go.” said David Hitzig, director of Busch Wildlife.  Or some of the wildlife had been purchased as a pet and later realized it could not behave like a household pet would.

The sanctuary also…
