by Talia Hrlejac Last Saturday over 300 kids and their families flocked to Downtown Kemptville for the Easter Bunny Hop—and what a day it was! From start to finish, it was packed with festive fun. The Easter Bunny Hunt kicked off at exactly 10:00 AM and wrapped up in a record-breaking 13 minutes. It's funny how kids can't find their shoes on a school morning, but give them a golden egg to hunt and suddenly they’ve got laser focus. Three golden eggs were hidden throughout the park—each one packed with a special surprise for the kids and a gift

card to a local downtown business for their lucky parents. Win-win! Before the hunt began, many families were fueling up at the always-delicious monthly breakfast at the Kemptville Legion. After the sprint through the park, the fun didn’t stop; kids continued the hunt by visiting participating downtown businesses for even more treats. One of the weekend's sweet surprises was the Easter-themed Scavenger Hunt. Eighteen downtown businesses had rubber ducks hiding in their windows, and families searched high and low to spot them all. Anyone who

turned in their completed hunt sheet was entered into a draw for a $50 gift card to The Crusty Baker. Because, really, what's a celebration without the promise of freshly baked bread and treats? Crafts were in full swing at St. John’s United Church and the North Grenville Historical Society, and the cookie decorating at To Be Continued was a hit. Just outside the old high school, inflatable games had kids bouncing off all that sugar in the best possible way. And, of course, one of the true highlights of the day was the Easter Bunny Dance Party! With
special guest appearances from the fluffiest bunnies and chicks from Happy Little Farmstead, the party had everyone hopping. Events like this are what make our community so special. It was heartwarming to see so many families come together in the Downtown core. A big thank-you to the Downtown Kemptville BIA for organizing the day, to Myers Kemptville for their generous sponsorship, to all the participating businesses who contribute to making the day special and to all the incredible volunteers who helped make it such a wonderful success.
