Meet the Easter Bunny at Downey’s Farm

March 27, 2015 · 0 Comments

Make Easter 2015 a family adventure with a trip to Downey’s Farm Market, on Heart Lake Road, south of King Street, for Easterfest.
Downey’s will be joining the community in 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 five full days of activities and entertainment for family members of all ages, March 28 and 29, and Easter weekend, April 3, 4 and 5 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Festivities will include face painting, craft, 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 bakery. Downey’s Estate Winery will be open March 28 and March 29, as well as April 4.
Admission is $12 per person.
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,” said Jenn Barnhouse of Alton. “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.”
