BUNNY BUSINESS

West Orange and Southwest Orange families had plenty of opportunities for some Easter fun last weekend.

In the town of Windermere, the Windermere Police Department escorted the Easter Bunny around town Saturday, April 8, so he could spread some holiday cheer to children and families. He and Police Chief Dave Ogden sat together on the back of a pickup truck to wave to residents along the route, and their helpers followed behind to toss bags of candy and treats to the kids.

A few miles away, the city of Ocoee celebrated the arrival of the spring season during a beautiful morning Saturday, April 8, at Bill Breeze Park. Families enjoyed food, fair games and rides, a climbing wall, a bubble bus and other activities. Children hopped around the park with their Easter-themed outfits and baskets waiting patiently for their respective egg hunts, where they could snag a couple of colorful eggs. Even the Easter Bunny made a special appearance during the event to wave to the children and take photos with them.

Finally, in Hamlin, Horizon West residents had a chance to schmooze with the Easter Bunny during the Hamlin Easter Bunny Meet and Greet Saturday, April 8, at Hamlin Town Center. Families enjoyed a plethora of springtime fun, including carnival games, lawn games, face-painters, a caricature artist, stilt-walkers, crafts, dance contests and much more.
