Good morning everyone, today the Easter Bunny will be hiding eggs at the township park in Heather Place next to the Police station. The Egg hunt will start at 10 but the Fire Company will help set up starting at 8. The Easter Bunny just wants to remind everyone to be respectful but have a good time.
