NEWS RELEASE
COLLINGWOOD DOWNTOWN BUSINESS IMPROVEMENT AREA
*************************
Hopping into the downtown on Saturday, Mar. 31 will be the Easter Bunny himself! It is with great pleasure that Downtown announces Mr. E. Bunny has again made room in his busy schedule to visit downtown Collingwood.

“It’s a tradition I wouldn't miss! I love the early hunt for eggs at the Station grounds and the unique way Downtown lets me hide all my eggs in the business windows. The children bring their Moms and Dads to help find and count them, so this makes the day truly a family adventure.”

The day begins at 10 a.m. at the Collingwood Museum / Station, bring a bag and collect the eggs hidden by the Easter Bunny on the grounds.  This event is for children 10 and under only, and they must bring an adult with them to join the fun.

This part of the day is hosted by the Journey Community Church and there will be lots of activities to keep the little ones busy while they wait for their turn to join the hunt. 

Following the hunt the Journey Community Church will also be hosting a free Children’s Easter movie - VeggieTales “Celery Night Fever” - at the Gayety Theatre. The movie starts at 11 a.m., complete with free popcorn for all, but seating is limited.

Starting at 11 a.m, join us at the Children’s Activity Centre, in front of Collingwood’s Town Hall. There will be free face painting, a chance to take home a fun balloon creation and the Collingwood Healthy Kids Community Challenge activity station.

You can pick up your egg counting entry form, then head out and count the eggs that the Easter Bunny has hidden in all the business windows throughout downtown. Bring along your parents for help, as accuracy counts! Return the form for your chance to win a great prize. 

Come dressed for the weather and stay for this spring filled day of activities. Don’t forget your camera so you can have your photo taken with the Easter Bunny.

While you’re visiting Downtown, drop into the shops as the new spring clothing, accessories and home decor fashions have arrived. Check out and see what’s new; from Easter Bonnets to Easter dinner, the businesses and shops have everything you will need for this holiday and the rest of Spring. 

Stay for a cup of tea or coffee or a great lunch at one of our outstanding restaurants.  Make Downtown Collingwood your destination for everything Easter!
