Shelburne celebrates Easter with a fun egg hunt!

April 16, 2014   ·   0 Comments

The excitement of the children who attended Shelburne’s 1st Annual Easter Egg Hunt held on April 12th at the Centre Dufferin Recreational Complex reached an almost fevered pitch by the time they were let loose to find eggs in the section of straw riddled with hidden eggs.  

Ushered into the straw by the Easter Bunny following an Easter Story Time by the Shelburne Public Library, all children were filled with anticipation and were on the hunt for eggs as each child hoped to find one of the “special eggs” which would win them a huge Easter basket filled with sensational chocolate treats.

Volunteers who made the event a truly memorable occasion of excitement and joy for hundreds of children are as follows: Pattie Hossie of the Shelburne Girl Guides, Gord & Gail Brown, Kristy Stevens and family, the Erjavec family, Nolan and Rick Wark, Amanda Phillips, Shelby Davies, Tom Egan, Alex Williams, Brent and Bonnie Eby. Sponsors included, Centre Dufferin Recreation Complex, Shelburne Kinsmen & Kinettes, Shelburne Royal Canadian Legion, Shelburne Public Library, Shelburne Lions Club, LP Stage Production, Shelburne Ministerial, Dufferin Arts Council, Cmac Karate, Dufferin County Museum, Turn it Out, Boston Pizza, Public Works Staff, Chapman’s Ice Cream, Administration Staff, Girl Guides & Pathfinders – Shelburne, Dollarama, M&M Meat Shop, Shelburne Town Council , Shelburne Free Press, Ganz Toys, Foodland, Ontario Egg Farmers, Giant Tiger, RBC Royal Bank, No Frills and the town of Shelburne.

Shawnette Crouse, Special Events and Committee Coordinator for the town of Shelburne proudly mentioned her three children Carter and Ashton Crouse, and Nolan Wark dyed all the eggs used for the arts and crafts that day.

“I was so happy with the attendance. I could not run these events without the volunteers who were absolutely amazing,” said Crouse. “Thanks to everyone and I am already looking forward to next year.”

Crouse’s anticipation is second only to the children who are also already looking forward to next year’s Easter Egg Hunt.
