The celebration comes a week early with the Ridgefield Easter Egg Hunt from 10 a.m. to noon at Overlook Park, South Main Avenue and Pioneer Street in Ridgefield; free admission. This hunt features 15,000 eggs. There will also be a dance fusion session, a cake walk and face painting. Tucker the Pony and the Easter Bunny will make appearances. 360-759-3158

McLoughlin Blvd., Vancouver; $30 general, $42.39 includes shirt. The biggest team-taught Jazzercise class in Clark County benefits the American Cancer Society Relay for Life.

3. Stars come out at night

“Dancing With the Stars” is one television’s biggest shows, so why not adapt it for Clark County? That’s exactly what’s happening from 6 to 9 p.m. March 24 at Windy Hills Winery, 1346 S. 38th Court, Ridgefield; $75. Dancing with the Local Stars 2.0 features six local stars — Mike Bomar (Columbia River Economic Development Council), Scot Brantley (Clark County Public Works), Dr. Dene Grigar (Washington State University Vancouver), Kelly Love (Legacy Salmon Creek Medical Center), Julie Olson (Clark County Council), and Jeff Swanson (Battle Ground city manager) — who will square off in a dance event featuring international, Latin and American dance, and emceed by local ballroom dance aficionado Ralph Stevens. rotaryofthreecreeks.com/calendar.html

4. A play to remember

Local schools put on productions all the time, but Vancouver School of Arts and Academics’ “The Shore of Memory” play features a couple of unique quirks. For starters, it was written by VSAA alum Sarah Eaton. The play also incorporates Intel technology to enhance costumes with LED lights controlled by actor movements. The play has 7 p.m. show times on March 23 and 24 at Vancouver School of Arts and Academics, 3101 Main St., Vancouver; $5, $4 for students and seniors. 360-313-4600

5. Keep on running

The season of races has begun. Follow up last week’s Shamrock Run by sticking in Clark County for the annual Couve Clover Run at 9 a.m. March 25 starting at Main Event Sports Grill, 800 Main St., Vancouver; $35 to $90. The annual race features 3-, 7- and 10-mile courses that take participants through Officers Row, Fort Vancouver and the Vancouver Farmers Market.
