Happy Easter, Capitol Hill. Despite the fact that we don’t all participate in the holiday, we’ll all feel the lag of events this weekend. Of course, CHS never leaves your basket empty, so check out this weekend’s list for some Easter or incredibly non-Easter events. Find something to do and save yourself from the potential Peeps overdose that may occur. Have something to add? Let us know on the free CHS Calendar.
