Clouds and occasional downpours didn’t dampen the spirits of Beaches residents who celebrated Easter this past weekend. Hundreds of families turned out for Easter egg hunts held at several churches and schools in the area. Hundreds more arrived before daybreak bearing beach chairs on Easter Sunday to attend local sunrise services, including one at Mickler’s Beach organized by Ponte Vedra Presbyterian Church and attended by members of other local churches as well.
