OTTER LAKE March 31, 2018
A few dozen children from the Otter Lake area were excited to hop about their local Recreation Association grounds, searching for the hundreds of eggs hidden by the Easter Bunny.
Over 30 kids raced around the area, loading their brightly-coloured baskets with a heaping helping of break-apart eggs in search of a golden ticket at the annual Otter Lake Recreation Association’s Easter Egg Hunt.
“There’s eggs all over the RA grounds, probably over 400,” said Desiree Tremblay, an RA member and town councillor.

Bringing her own Easter Bunny, also known as Dixie, kids had the chance to meet and pet the event mascot before the hunt began sharply at 10 a.m. From there, kids took off from their starting line of the outdoor ice rink, searching high and low for candy hidden in the classic, plastic eggs.
Moving quick, the whole process took just under a half hour as baskets were returned overflowing and everyone began tearing apart their eggs to see what they had collected.
While only one lucky participant would go home with the bigger chocolate bunny, determined by whoever found the golden ticket inside an egg, everybody would still get a little something extra to satisfy their sweet tooth.
“Once all the eggs are found, everyone gets a chocolate bunny,” said Tremblay.
