Easter may be Sunday, but Easter-related events happen on several days this week in Meeker and Rangely. The two towns' big events are the annual local Easter Egg hunts, which both take place on Saturday at 10 a.m. at Barone Middle School in Meeker and at Elks Park in Rangely. Children are expected to gather en masse for the two hunts, which wrap up in a hurry.
