An Eggsellent time at Wesleyville's Easter Event

Taekwondo team members from the Korea Black Belt Centre in Richmond Hill joined us for the festivities!

It seems these days that people are hankering for opportunities reminiscent of days gone by, a time when the pace was slower, when there were strong links to our agricultural past, and community was built on shared values of family and good wholesome fun.

On Saturday, April 18, the Friends of Wesleyville Village provided just that at their annual Easter Egg Hunt and Family Event, and the response from those in attendance was a resounding success.

Activities like the Easter Egg hunt on the nature trail, fun giant bubbles, pin the tail on the bunny, and the egg and spoon race delivered loads of smiles. Our special guests, Mo the donkey, Bandit the lamb, as well as Leif and Heidi’s ducklings, all courtesy of locals Brigetta and Erik of Green Eggs and Lamb Farm in Crooked Creek kept the young ones (and young at heart) in good spirits throughout the afternoon.

Visitors came from local areas of Port Hope, Cobourg, Newtonville and Newcastle, Orono and from further afield such as Toronto. There was even a taekwondo team from Richmond Hill!

All in all, the event was fun and successful, answering the question: Where can you go these days for a free family event filled with special memories and links to our agricultural and cultural past? Turns out the answer is right down Lakeshore Road, in Wesleyville Village.
