Easter Egg Hunt 2007

The 2007 Easter Egg hunt was held in Allison Park on Saturday, April 7, 2007 at 10:00 am- the kids and their parents had a great time hunting down the 20,000 chocolate eggs that the Easter Bunny delivered despite the cold and flurries!

Since this event started, Chris Ecklund has donated over 100,000 chocolate eggs. In 2007 he also hired Par-T-Perfect, who provided face painters, Easter Bunny, etc. There were also games and the usual excitement and fun for the kids!

A special thanks to Cadbury, who donated and gave Mr. Ecklund a HUGE discount on Chocolate eggs, along with wine gums, bubble gum, and the little furry bunnies.

Mr. Ecklund also donated 2400 Tim Horton's coupons to our troops in Afghanistan, and made a formal presentation to Hamilton MP Chris Charlton. Each soldier in Afghanistan will have a free coffee courtesy of Mr. Ecklund.

We took some great video that day (requires Flash player)

Photos are posted below. This was the biggest and best Easter in Allison Park ever!
