Heather Loftin, Promotions Director; “We are really going to have a great time this year. Not only will the Easter Bunny be here for pictures (don”t forget the camera!) but we are also going to have other festive fun like bean bag tosses and pin the tail on the bunny. Oh yes, and don”t forget to register for the Grand Prize of the Solid Milk Chocolate replica of the Easter Bunny himself.”

Other activities during the day also include (for an extra cost), a petting zoo, provided by Five Star Farm (all time slots) and food provided by Rita”s Ice and Chick-Fil-A at Monkey Junction (both at 11:30 and 2:00 times only).
