The Easter Bunny will be hopping down the bunny trail towards local communities this weekend, so here’s a rundown of some Easter events that have come to The Journal’s attention where he (she?) might be spotted.
ASHCROFT

Colouring sheets can be picked up at the Pharmacy (no purchase required), and prizes will be awarded in three categories: ages 2 to 5; ages 6 to 10; and ages 11 to 13.
The Ashcroft River Inn Restaurant is hosting an Easter Egg Hunt on Sunday, April 21 from noon to 1 p.m., with free hot dogs and pop for children 12 and under. Some eggs will be marked with numbers, to be entered into a draw for prizes after the hunt. The event will be followed by a special grand opening buffet at the restaurant from 4 to 8 p.m. ($20 for adults; children are $1 for every year old they are).
