For over 45 years Steve Kaselak has been spreading Easter joy to children of all ages with his Easter display, Jellybeanville. His home on Zeman Avenue in Euclid is magically transformed into a celebration of jelly beans, Easter eggs, bunnies and much more.

Hundreds of people come every year to see the display, which changes annually. This year there are new eggs, new signage and new ideas. Children run from spot to spot with squeals of awe and excitement.
Steve has even included cut outs of his family in their Easter finest as they looked when they went to St. William's Catholic Church for Mass when he was young.
At nighttime, the display lights up adding to the enchantment. And on Easter Sunday, Peter Cottontail himself is there - all day long. From 9:00 AM to dark the Easter Bunny is there to make sure everybody's Easter is a happy one.
A few years ago, Steve decided that since so many people visit would start accepting donations for Bellflower Center for the prevention of child abuse. Donations are completely voluntary and there is no pressure. A simple sign and box is there for the donations. Last year he collected over $600.00 for the Center.
Steve says that there is so much negativity and sorrow in the world. He's just trying to put some joy in people's lives. Anyone who sees the smiles on visitors' faces knows he has accomplished his mission.
