Once again our annual Easter Egg hunt was a huge success, despite temperatures of -15, and snow, approx. 200 children and parents and attending dignataries had a great time, with the little ones scooping up approx 20,000 chocolate eggs!
A huge thankyou to Cadbury whom not only gives me a huge discount on the purchase of the chocolates, but they also donated a large part of the chocolates also. Also this year they donated gum, wine gums and little bunnies, that quack like little chicks!! Many thanks to Dianne, Anna, and Lucy whom live in the neighbourhood and also work at Cadbury, thanks ladies without you the event would not be possible.
Many thanks also to the volunteers whom help me put this event on, yesterday we had people come out to help clean up the park, my neighbours Tony and Bob, thanks guys, you are always there for me, Lillian and family and friends, thanks for delivering flyers and all your help today.
A special thankyou also to Kathleen, and daughters Jessica and Kiersten, whom now live elsewhere but still come back and volunteer, thanks girls you are the best!
New this year I hired Special Event Rentals to supply a tent,tables and chairs because it was so cold, I bought 2 propane heaters to take the chill off, and thanks to Joanelle and staff of par-t-perfect, whom brought out the face painters, balloon twisters, inflatible jumper, and the guest of honour the Easter Bunny !!!!
Speaking of Guests of Honour, many thanks for Councilor Whitehead of ward 8, who's family came out, Councilor Scott Duvall and wife of ward 7, former councilor of Ward 7 Terry Anderson and family, and MP Chris Charlton. Many thanks for coming out!
Thank you also to 820 Cham for sending their mascot out, the little ones enjoyed him a lot.
