The perfect spring day of bright blue, cloudless skies, green grass and nodding yellow daffodils were the back drop when the Easter Bunny visited Pickering Village on April 7 during the Pickering Village BIA Easter Egg Hunt 2012.  Held at the beautifully renovated St. Francis Centre, the local Business Improvement Area Board of Directors hosted a fun-filled family day with seasonal events and goodies for the children and adults alike.  There were two screenings of the movie Puss in Boots in the St. Francis Centre as well as an egg hunt, face painting, a balloon sculptor, craft table, and of course photos with the Easter Bunny himself in the school yard of St. Francis de Sales Catholic School. 

Attendees were asked to be please “Be a good egg” and bring gently used clothing, housewares and other donations for the 4477 Shop, an extension of the Auxiliary of the Rouge Valley Health System and a fellow member of the Pickering Village BIA on Old Kingston Road. 

The Pickering Village BIA Board of Directors would like to thank all those who attended for the immense generosity of their donations.  The Board would also like to express their gratitude to the volunteers who made this event such a success. 

Happy Easter!
