Rain doesn’t dampen Easter spirits at local egg hunt

Mother Nature sure tried to outwit the Easter Bunny on Saturday, March 30, but ingenuity and perseverance paid off in Kingsville as hundreds gathered at Lakeside Park Pavilion to enjoy the annual Easter Egg Hunt.

With the rain pouring down, the outdoor Easter Egg Hunt was moved inside where town staff and volunteers gave out bags of candy to each child instead. Plenty of crafts and games were on hand inside as well as two inflatable action games just outside the door. Those brave enough to endure a little rain were able to take advantage of the inflatable axe throwing and a baseball/soccer/football skills game.

Of course, the biggest lineup inside was for photos with the guest of honour — the Easter Bunny, who gladly posed for photos with hundreds of children throughout the morning. 

The town honoured two long-time sponsors — Century-21 Local Home Team and Dr. Mark Olivito and Associates — and presented them with certificates of thanks.
