The rainy weather did not dampen spirits at the annual Bunny Trail party in NOTL on Saturday.

Although the egg hunt was moved indoors at the Niagara-on-the-Lake Community Centre, children and families still walked away with some sweet Easter treats.

The event was organized by the Niagara-on-the-Lake Kinsmen Club and the Niagara Nursery School and Child Care Centre.

Families with children of all ages had a chance to participate in a variety of activities, including posing for pictures with Crystal Bunny. The event also featured face painting, a bake sale as well as an arts and crafts zone.

Ruth Belfie, who was at the event with her four-year-old granddaughter Maya Ballantyne, said this was the best year ever as the activities were more child-oriented.

Lonny Danieluk, who was there with his family, said the Bunny Trail is a great place to see the community.

“You see people you haven’t seen in a long time,” he told The Lake Report. 

The District 1 firefighting captain Michael Mitchell said volunteers have been participating in the event for a couple of years now.

Money raised from the event, which attracted hundreds of families, helps support the nursery school.
