Looking for something to do? A number of area organizations have scheduled events this weekend.

On Saturday, Friends of Ironton will have an Easter Bunny pancake breakfast at Rax restaurant. The breakfast will be 8-10 a.m. The Easter Bunny will hand out Easter eggs during the event.

The cost of $5 is money that FOI President Rick Jansen said will go to many good causes throughout the year.

“We have Gus Macker coming up and Rally on the River and then our Octoberfest,” he said. “And it will go to our general operating funds.”

On Saturday from 10 a.m.-3 p.m., the Ironton High School Yearbook Staff will have a craft sale in the school gymnasium. The admission is $1. Yearbook staff advisor Valerie Freeman said at least 35 crafters will show their wares.

“This is the fourth years we’ve had it,” Freeman said. “Last year we had around 400 people and this year I’m hoping we have 600 or more come. I’d like to raise about $3,000 or $4,000.”

Also Saturday, the Ironton Business Association will have its annual Easter Egg Hunt at 10 a.m. on the Lawrence County Courthouse lawn.

“We will go by the clock at the bank on the corner across from the courthouse,” IBA President Rich Patrick said. “I stress that because last year the eggs were gone in about four minutes. It goes fast.”

A couple hundred children come each year to find 1,200 eggs hidden on the fourth street side of the courthouse. There will be prizes and a visit by the Easter Bunny.If it rains, the egg hunt will be next week, same time, same place.

At the Collins Career Center, youngsters can have a chance to eat breakfast with the Easter Bunny at 10 a.m. The meal will consist of pancakes, sausage and drinks. Tickets are $4 for adults and $2 for kids. An Easter egg hunt will follow at 11:30. Pictures with the bunny will be available.

The Easter Bunny will also be visiting the South Point Park at 1 p.m. Saturday afternoon. The event is sponsored by the Tri-State Worship Center.

If you are in the mood to volunteer for the community, Operation Tidy-Up Lawrence County will hit State Route 7 to clean up litter along the road from Chesapeake to Proctorville. Those interested in helping out can meet at the Chesapeake Community Center at 9 a.m. Vests and bags will be provided, but participants need to bring their own gloves.

Also on Saturday, the Lawrence County Historical Society will host the Ohio Historical Society Region 9 meeting.

“Last year we went to Pomeroy and then we volunteered to host the meeting this year,” Lawrence County Historical Society President Peggy Karshner said.

Approximately 35 people will attend the day-long meeting.

At 6 p.m. Saturday the New Hope United Methodist Church in Rome Township will have an auction to benefit the American Cancer Society.

“The church became involved in supporting the American Cancer Society a few years ago through some of the individuals at church forming a Relay for Life Team,” church member Mike Boster explained. “Our church has a team in the upcoming Relay for Life and the auction is part of our fund raising efforts for that event.”

Auction items will be available for preview beginning at 5 p.m.

Food will be available also. A variety of items will be auctioned off.

Then on Sunday, the museum will open for the season. Hours will be 1-4 p.m. The public is invited to attend the museum opening.

Karshner said again this year the museum will host Camp Ironton living historical display during Memorial Day weekend. One new event: The museum will have a float in this year’s parade. From April to June, there will be an exhibit of vintage clothing.
