\nIt seems like everyone’s calendars get crazier than usual when spring rolls around, and this April at the Villas at Carrington Square in Overland Park, Kansas,<\/a> is no exception! Easter, the Masters Tournament at Augusta National, National Library Week—there’s something for almost everybody to celebrate and appreciate!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Now Let’s Hop Into Easter<\/b><\/p>\n

One “eggcellent” way to celebrate Easter with the kiddos this year is to take place in Hop In DOP Saturday, April 19 from 10 a.m. to noon.<\/a> Search for colorful Egg Posters in the windows of participating shops, where our businesses will have a special treat waiting for you! Make sure to stop by the Clock Tower for kid-friendly games, music, and an Easter Bunny meet-and-greet.<\/p>\n

\n <\/p>\n

There are also will be an Easter Egg Hunt at Meadowbrook Park<\/a> the same day; check out Kids Out and About for more info.<\/a><\/p>\n

The actual Easter holiday is late this year—Sunday, April 20, 2025 (Passover begins Saturday, April 12). Which gives you plenty of time to lay in supplies and have the fun of making your own charcuterie Easter basket!<\/a> If you’re not feeling particularly creative, * The Idea Specialists™ *<\/b>recommend a quick google search for the kind of goodies you want to share with family and friends. They found lots great boxes and baskets at Harry & David,<\/a> as well as full holiday dinners!<\/a> Locally, Charcuterie by Carrie<\/a> is an excellent option.<\/p>\n

Our Local Library<\/b>
\n<\/p>\n

This year’s theme for National Library Week April 6-12<\/a> is “Drawn to the Library,” and that’s because libraries have something that draws everyone in: books, magazines, computer stations, story time for kids, DVDS, online resources, and more. If you haven’t lately, stop by the Blue Valley branch of the Johnson County Library<\/a> to see what all they have to offer.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Teed Up Next—The Masters<\/b><\/p>\n

For some people, it just wouldn’t be spring in without the Masters Tournament at Augusta National Golf Club.<\/a> If you’re lucky enough to have the chance to attend—even if only for a practice round—take it! It’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Most of us, though, will get to enjoy the lovely azaleas and admire the prowess of professional athletes like betting favorites Rory McIllroy and Scottie Scheffler<\/a> from the comfort of our Villas at Carrington Square living rooms<\/a>. Here’s the guide<\/a> for watching at home.<\/p>\n

We asked The Idea Specialists™<\/a> for some suggestions on how to throw a Masters party, and of course they came through!<\/p>\n

Egg salad sandwiches, pimento sandwiches, and Mini MoonPies<\/a> are musts!!<\/p>\n

Don’t have time to make your own sammies in your custom-appointed kitchen?<\/a> Not to worry—you can feast on tradition with the Taste of the Masters hosting kit!<\/a> The world-famous classic concessions items, including pork bar-b-que, are delivered to your door, enabling you to recreate the patron experience. Another way to do that is to make an Azalea Cocktail,<\/a> the beloved drink of golfers and fans alike. (Pro Tip: This pretty pink concoction goes well with most Easter menus,<\/a> too!)
