Easter Carnival is a hop, skip and jump away

BY

The Easter Bunny will be making a stop at Holiday Harbor on Saturday, April 4, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. for the annual Easter Carnival and Egg Hunt.

Facilitated by the Jr. Women’s Club and the Men’s Golf Club, the Egg Hunt will begin at 11 a.m. with the tossing of the golf ball “eggs” for children to gather. Each child who participates will receive a prize; but the child in each age group who finds the special egg will receive a $20 gift card to Toys-R-Us. Age groups are: 0-2, 3-5, 6-7, 8-9 and 10-12. Children need to bring their own baskets to collect the “eggs.”

In addition to the Egg Hunt, wristbands will be available for $10, which includes unlimited access to the carnival games, bounce house, giant slide, face painting, temporary tattoos, balloon clown and a craft table.

Food tickets will be available to purchase such items as pulled pork sandwiches, hamburgers, hot dogs, pizza, cotton candy, chips, baked goods, beverages and more. 
The Easter Bunny will be on hand to pose for photos, so parents are invited to bring their own camera for this photo opportunity with their children.

A drawing for prizes will take place towards the end of the event (ticket-holders do not need to be present to win). Tickets will be $1. Parents can buy last-minute Easter basket fillers from the following vendors:

The Haute Box Mobile Clothing Boutique, Origami Owl, Pampered Chef, watch bands and scarfs, cheese Boards and vintage items, solar/home improvements, purses, Vivi Bows and Hats, Scentsy, Bags & More, handmade jewelry, Brown 31 Gifts, Beauty By Bee, The Cup Above, Everskincare, Prayerfully Made Jewelry, Desert Rose Clothing, The Nifty Necklace and other items.

A few vendor booths are still available for $35 per booth. For information on the vendor booths, call Julie Stover at 951-265-9722.
High school volunteers are very much needed and can earn community service hours by helping with the day’s activities. To volunteer, call Carol Basse-Winn at 951-264-4364 or e-mail canyonlakejwc@gmail.com. The Jr. Women’s Club still welcomes donations or prizes from local businesses or clubs.
