Make memories with the Easter Bunny at Downey’s Farm

March 25, 2016   ·   0 Comments

Make Easter 2015 a family adventure with a trip to Downey’s Farm Market at 13682 Heart Lake Rd., south of King Street, for Easterfest.
Downey’s will be celebrating the 14th anniversary of its Easter festival, which has steadily grown in popularity over the years.
This year’s Easterfest promises to be as exciting as ever, with full days of activities and entertainment for family members of all ages. It opened over the weekend and will continue this Friday, Saturday and Sunday (March 25, 26 and 27) from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Festivities include face painting, crafts, wagon rides, visit with farm animals, puppet shows and performances by magician Steve Baker of Abracadabra Magic. And once again, children will be able to take part in the Easter Egg Scramble — scrambling to find colourful plastic eggs scattered by the Easter Bunny and helpers, and exchanging their egg collection for an Easter basket of treats.
Festival-goers will also be able to buy Easter treats and baked goods, including Downey’s famous pumpkin donuts, from the Downey Bakery
Admission is $12 per person from ages two to 92.
The mix of activities for the whole family has proven to be a winning formula that keeps people coming back, year after year.
“Our family always looks forward to Easterfest at Downey’s Farm,” Jenn Barnhouse of Alton commented. “My daughter loves having her face painted, seeing the Easter bunny, and collecting eggs in the Egg Scramble. It’s a great event for kids.”

Many animals are there to be seen, including these rabbits, which were pretty interesting to Austin Botham, 2, of Bolton, McKinley Bettles, 2, of Georgetown and Charli Hilts, 4, of Georgetown.
