How Many Jelly Beans Do You Think Are in This Jar?

Take your best guess. Contest part of Port Chester Easter party for kids today at Lyon Park.

As part of the fun today at Port Chester's Easter party at Lyon Park, participants can take a shot a winning prizes by guessing the number of jelly beans held in a jar put together at the village Recreation Department.

Recreation leader Heather Krakowski isn't giving any hints on the number of jelly beans. We tried, but without any luck.

So, you'll have to take a guess for yourself at the party.

The village's Recreation Department, with sponsorship from TD Bank, is hosting the annual Easter in the Park celebration at Lyon Park starting at 10:30 a.m.

The free event is geared for kids from toddlers to 10 years old. Along with free carnival games and the jelly bean counting contest, the Easter Bunny is scheduled to make an appearance to meet kids at the park - and pose for photos with the kids.

The party runs until 12:30 p.m. In case of bad weather, the rain date is March 23.

Linda T., I would guess Mrs. Brakewood lives in Port Chester if she is running for the Port ChesterRead More Board of Ed. Even if the schools had to impose an austerity budget, your taxes would still go up. The state has more control in these matters than you think.

Linda, the per pupil expenditure in PC schools is the lowest in Westchester and Rockland countiesRead More ... by about $2,000 per student. The issue is two fold. First, our property values are not as strong as our neighbors, so our homes have a higher levy in order to fund the schools. Second, and more important, is that the reliance on property taxes slams moderate income communities like PC. We need for the state to move to an income tax to fund schools. Scream at your legislators ... not the BoE.

I am concerned there is not enough attention to detail in the BOE budget overall and Mrs. BrakewoodRead More comment about keeping taxes affordable ... where does she live ? they are out of control and in my opinion the money we pay for taxes we should have the best looking schools anywhere ... just my opinion

What a mean thing to do to the people who live nearby. Why can't this event be held in a park orRead More someplace else where it won't be such a hardship?
