The Hunt happened at 12:30 sharp and was over in under five minutes, but many stayed after the hunt for the attractions.

Tampa’s Bill Lindsey warmed up the crowd with his Elvis and Rock n Roll songs.  The children enjoyed pony rides, a petting zoo, face painting, train rides on the “Bunny Express,” a gyroscope, giant slide, a large bouncy house, and a bouncy house for the little ones too.  The Easter Bunny and his Mrs. wandered around taking pictures with the children.
