• Catch the Bunny & Easter Egg Hunt: We have a fun run for the kiddos - we like to call it the "Catch the Bunny" - and, our Easter egg hunt is a fantastic adventure for the kids and the young at heart. We've hidden lots of eggs, filled with delightful surprises, all around our event location. Watch your little ones' faces light up as they explore and collect eggs!

In Memory of Lara McDonald: She was a light to many, had a spirit so joyful and a heart so kind that she touched everyone she met. She lived each day to the fullest, loved hard and cherished time with family and friends. Lara rescued her dog, Millie, from a local shelter. Together they shared beautiful moments, creating lasting memories. Lara left behind a legacy of love and shared adventures.
