Local children got a chance to get into the Easter season and meet the Easter Bunny last weekend at the Libro Centre.
The Easter “Egg-Stravaganza” was last Saturday with events and activities in the downstairs community room, a special “turf tots” session in the indoor soccer field, and a pair of skating sessions.
“We’ve had a good turnout,” said Emily O’Reilly, recreation and camp co-ordinator with the town.
O’Reilly estimated approximately 100 people came through to see the Easter Bunny in the first hour alone, with a rush right when the Easter “Egg-Stravaganza” event started at 10 a.m. The event ran through 1 p.m.
“It’s a nice, free event for the whole family,” said O’Reilly.
The skating portions of the event included an hour for beginners skating and an hour of public skating. She said they tried to incorporate both active and creative elements for families, in addition to the visit with the Easter Bunny.
“We always like to have the Easter Bunny visit us every year,” she said.
O’Reilly added they like to present the event annually, and she said she sees new faces every year along with some returning faces.
“It’s nice to see them every year,” said O’Reilly. “We watch them grow as they take pictures with the bunny.”
The town is also presenting summer camps with registration opening May 10 to Amherstburg residents and May 17 for non-Amherstburg residents. O’Reilly referred people to the town’s official website for more information.
