While it wasn’t the balmy temperatures we are experiencing midweek in the Sun Parlour, the Easter weekend provided lots of opportunity for families to get outdoors and participate in various Easter-related activities in the region. Under sunny skies and cool temperatures on Good Friday, April 7, the Wheatley Legion Ladies Auxiliary welcomed about 250 youngsters and their parents and grandparents to Two Creeks Conservation Area for their annual Easter Egg Hunt. In addition to the hunt for chocolate goodies, the Legion and J&J Excavating pitched in to help the Ladies Auxiliary with a bicycle giveaway. They were able to give five bikes away to five lucky attendees of different age groups. The Wheatley hunt got underway after the bicycle draw and the hundreds of kids then scattered in different directions to find their chocolate rewards. On Saturday, April 8, the Town of Kingsville held their annual Mayor’s Easter Egg Hunt at Lakeside Park. The cool Lake Erie breeze did not seem to be a deterrent as about 300 families showed up for crafts, train rides, inflatables and a meet and greet with the Easter Bunny himself. There were two different age groups scrambling for candy prizes when it came down to the hunts themselves and plenty of kids came away with plenty of candy and plenty of great memories. Leamington’s Lakepoint Family Church held their annual Easter Eggapalooza on Saturday, April 8 as well, where hundreds attended to participate in inflatables and a giant Easter Egg Hunt. All-in-all, lots of great memories for hundreds of families in the region were made, in addition to family gatherings throughout the Sun Parlour.
Briar Praill and Sophia Davis waited with great anticipation for the first session of the Eggapalooza Easter Egg Hunt at Lakepoint Family Church on Highway 3 east of Leamington on Saturday, April 8.

Hogs for Hospice concert acts announced
The waiting is over for the annual announcement by the Leamington Hogs for Hospice committee regarding the headliners and openers for this year’s Hogs for Hospice weekend concerts. The Friday night rock and roll crowd will enjoy the opening act which is Canadian rock band Honeymoon Suite. The Niagara Fallsbased super group will be making
their return to Leamington — they appeared at Roller Alley (now the Portuguese Club) in 1985. With hits such as Feel It Again and New Girl Now, the group is expected to rock the Sunset Amphitheatre stage before headliner Scott Stapp of Creed takes the microphone to belt out such Creed hits as With Arms Wide Open and My Sacrifice.
Hogs committee spokesperson Joe Oswald is excited about the lineups. “We’re thrilled to be able to bring two rock eras together in Scott Stapp and Honeymoon Suite,” he said. “Very excited to bring Honeymoon Suite back to Leamington after all these years.” SEE HOGS CONCERTS CONTINUED ON PAGE 2
