The club also prepared bunny-themed crafts for children of all ages as well as simple games for children to enjoy. Games include pin the tail on the bunny and a fun paper bag bunny craft. Kids can also get their face painted with many spring and bunny-themed designs.
“We have been planning and preparing for this event since early fall,” said Carly Regan, the club’s vice president. “From coordinating caterers, preparing crafts, to setting up fun activities and games, we have been working hard to make this a successful and exciting event!”
There will also be raffle baskets, which are donated by local businesses in Clarks Summit and surrounding areas.
