Annual Easter Egg Drop in Grove City carries on, even in the rain
'The helicopter did have to cancel due to weather conditions. We do want to make sure that not only our guests, but the pilot is staying safe as well,' said Hayden Maine with Keystone Safari.
Hundreds of parents and their kids came out to participate in its annual Easter Egg Drop.
'We brought grandma and grandpa today, and Cora, so we got the whole family affair,' said attendee Brandie Welch.
There were 4,000 eggs spread across the front lawn, filled with toys and candy.
'My favorite candy is Milky Way or Tootsie Rolls,' said attendee Gavin Welch.
But it's the time spent with their families that brightens up their day.
'It's just that — the family together, bringing everyone together, having fun, having something to do,' Brandie said.
'Easter weekend is great because of the time of year, the spirit in the air. You get Christmas in the early winter and now you get this,' said attendee Stephen Carfangia.
The spirit could be seen on the kids' faces, racing across the lawn to collect as many eggs as they could and opening what they received from the Easter Bunny.
The event sent everyone home with moments that will last a lifetime.
'It's going to have memories, and we're going to never forget it because it's Easter,' Gavin said.
'For them to have something they can do on their own is great for them, enrichment for the kids. They can play a little bit independently, with a bunch of other kids and get that community feeling is real nice,' Carfangia said.
'It's memories that we'll never forget,' Brandie said.

Why ‘The Office' cast would sneak back onto set after hours: Brian Baumgartner
It was after business hours. 'The Office' star Brian Baumgartner has revealed that the cast used to sneak back on set after filming — for one key reason. 'There were some nights where we came back to Dunder Mifflin late at night when the shooting had stopped,' Baumgartner, 52, exclusively told The Post. 'The people who were involved in the Fantasy Football league would sit at all of the working computers, and draft in person together there.' 9 Brian Baumgartner in his interview with the New York Post. 9 Brian Baumgartner as Kevin with his chili on 'The Office.'

'Those are very fond memories, for sure.' Baumgartner played the chili-loving Kevin Malone from 2005 to 2013. The NBC comedy also starred Steve Carrell, John Krasinski, Rainn Wilson, Jenna Fisher and Mindy Kaling. They played staffers at the paper company, Dunder Mifflin. Baumgartner is still in a fantasy football league with many of his former co-stars, including Wilson and Krasinski. 9 Brian Baumgartner with Samuel Adams Octoberfest.

'I do a fair amount [of trash talking.] I'm very active….during the draft,' he said while promoting his partnership with Samuel Adam's Octoberfest beer, including a limited-edition Fall Legends Commissioner's Kit for Fantasy Football season. 'If you draft wrong, you're going to hear from me, probably Rainn Wilson as well. He's a big trash talker.' Carrell, however, isn't in their league. 'He's kind of a Patriots guy. And hockey is more Steve's thing,' he noted. 'Steve still played hockey while we were shooting the show in a rec league.' The cast would even play Fantasy Football on their characters' computers when the cameras rolled. 'We were probably all much better players when we had time there to just sit and look at our computers,' he said. 9 Kate Flannery as Meredith Palmer, B.J.

According to Nielsen data, 'The Office' was the most streamed show of 2020, raking in over 57 billion minutes viewed. He recalled an incident when, 'I was chatting with Rainn [Wilson] and I said, 'it feels like the show is as big as it was when we were at the height.' And I remember this specifically, he said, 'no, it feels bigger.'' 9 Jenna Fischer holds up a piece of cake celebrating the 100th episode of 'The Office' as Brian Baumgartner, Steve Carell, Angela Kinsey, and B.J.

'It's hard to really have people understand how small that conference room really was. [Creator] Greg Daniels kept it very small because he wanted it to have that sort of claustrophobic feeling,' he told The Post. 'We all felt a little punch drunk…..Steve really thrived in those moments and very clearly to me, he did his best to try to make us laugh.'

All About Prince William and Kate Middleton's $21 Million "Forever Home," Forest Lodge
The Georgian mansion was built in 1770 and purchased by the Crown in 1836. The Gist Prince William and Kate Middleton have decided that Forest Lodge will be their "forever home." The new property is roughly four miles from Adelaide Cottage, where the family has lived since 2022. Forest Lodge is located in Great Windsor Park; Windsor Castle and Adelaide Cottage are part of an adjacent estate, Windsor Home Park. Prince William and Kate Middleton are gearing up for one last move just a few miles down the road from their current home, Adelaide Cottage. Situated in Great Windsor Park, Forest Lodge will host the Wales family just in time for Christmas, if all goes to plan, and many more holidays after that. 'This is a move for the long-term,' one insider told The Sun when news of the family's move first broke. 'They see it as their forever home.' With eight bedrooms and six bathrooms, Forest Lodge is roughly double the size of Adelaide Cottage. The property is also even more "isolated" than their previous home, given that it is further from Windsor Castle and nestled deeper in the private grounds of Great Windsor Park. The couple's previous homes include Kensington Palace, where they lived on and off from 2013 to 2022, and Adelaide Cottage, where the family of five currently resides. William and Kate first lived together as roommates at St. Andrews University and rented a home in Anglesey, Wales, when William was stationed there as a Royal Air Force pilot. Ahead, everything you should know about the Prince and Princess of Wales's future "forever home," Forest Lodge. Forest Lodge is over 250 years old. Forest Lodge was built by non-royals in 1770 and acquired by the Crown on June 27, 1829 (as of 2025, that makes it 255 years old). The property was then known as Holly Grove, presumably because its original owner, Spencer Mackay, owned multiple sugar plantations in the Caribbean, including one called Cane Grove. In her 1997 book Royal Landscape: The Gardens and Parks of Windsor, Jane Roberts reported that Sir John Aird, who lived in the mansion in the mid-20th century, found the name "distasteful." It was thus renamed Forest Lodge in 1937. It's only four miles from Adelaide Cottage. Adelaide Cottage and Forest Lodge are located nearby and yet not quite on the same property; while the former is in Windsor Home Park, the latter is in the adjacent Great Windsor Park. Still, the two homes are only four miles apart. This closeness represents a marked difference from their last move, which saw the family of five relocate from Kensington Palace all the way to Adelaide Cottage (a roughly 24-mile trip from the center of London to Windsor). Recall that the move "surprised a lot of people" when they left the big city in 2022. "Being able to live in the middle of Windsor Home Park, where they're not overlooked and can come and go in complete privacy, makes the downsize from Kensington Palace worth it on every level," royal author Katie Nicholl told OK magazine at the time. Princess Anne almost lived there instead. Apparently Princess Anne and her first husband, Captain Mark Phillips, considered moving into Forest Lodge after they married in 1973. A report from The Daily Telegraph from December 1975, two years after Anne married, stated that she had considered the property. The newlyweds moved into Oak Grove House, a five-bedroom Georgian house located at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst, instead. Then, in 1976, they relocated to the Gatcombe Park estate in Gloucestershire, where Anne still lives today. (The couple divorced in 1992.) It's an "isolated" property. And the Wales family likes it that way. Moreover, the move represents something of a "fresh start" for the family, who experienced "three really tough years" that included the death of Queen Elizabeth II and Kate Middleton and King Charles's dual cancer diagnoses. 'They are looking forward to creating many happy memories in their new home and leaving some of the unhappier ones behind," a source told The Daily Mail. 'It's about as isolated as you can get there, so you can see the attraction for them,' another insider added. 'It's situated in a huge private chunk of Windsor Great Park, and the children can go out cycling for miles and not come anywhere near any of the local residents. There's a nearby fishing lake that's open only to staff, but that's it. It's also a lot closer—probably a 15-minute drive—to their current school.' Prince William and Kate Middleton are renovating. According to The Sun, William and Kate 'are paying for the move and rent at no extra cost to the taxpayer.' The property is currently undergoing "minor internal and external renovations" in the hopes that the family can move in by Christmas. 'Kate has already been spotted picking new furniture to kit out the new abode, including a 24-seater table,' the outlet reported. They plan to live there long-term. Indeed, the property has been dubbed their "forever home" by royal insiders, and it seems that the Wales family will remain there even once Prince William is crowed King. This break in tradition would make William the first monarch since medieval times to not live in a castle or a palace. 'The late Queen said she had to be seen to be believed,' one source told The Daily Mail. 'I just hope that the Prince of Wales can find the right balance between raising his family away from the public glare at Windsor with the presence required of him as a future, and eventual, head of state.'

Day 3 of trial for alleged mastermind in Young Dolph murder
Hernandez Govan will be live in the courtroom at 9:30 a.m. in the video box above. MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Hernandez Govan, the man accused of orchestrating the death of rapper Young Dolph, is set to appear in court for day three of his trial Wednesday morning. On Tuesday, Angela Arnold, the girlfriend of Cornelius Smith, was the first witness to take the stand. She told the court that to her knowledge, Smith never had direct contact with Big Jook and that he would communicate with Govan to send and receive messages. She also testified she saw Govan at a carwash hours after Young Dolph's death, when Smith picked up a cellphone from Govan he had left in the white Mercedes used in the murder. Various Memphis Police Investigators were then called to testify in court, along with cell phone records. According to the investigators, they went over calls and text records of Goavn, Smith, and Big Jook in the months leading up to the murder and afterward. They say Smith appeared to have several outgoing calls to Govan. But in cross-examination, Govan's defense attorney explained the reasoning for their communication, saying, Govan supplied Smith with various types of pills, and Johnson talked with him because he was an aspiring rapper. Another investigator who testified said detectives went to the airport to execute a search warrant on Big Jook's phone and asked if they could speak to him, but he refused. This story will be updated. ► Day 1: Trial of alleged mastermind in Young Dolph case ► Day 2: Trial of alleged mastermind in Young Dolph case Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
