When families aren’t busy chasing Easter bunnies or are in search of a different kind of activity, there are several events in the Cedar Park and Leander area this weekend and next week. April 14: Fries for First Responders. McDonald’s restaurants in Leander and Cedar Park are participating with the 100 Club of Central Texas to raise funds for families of first responders during the 10th Annual Good Friday Fundraiser. A portion of proceeds will go toward families of those fallen or critically injured in the line of duty, K-9, Mounted Unit memorials and scholarships for active duty first responders. 11 a.m.-2 p.m. Austin-area McDonald’s locations.
