The Easter Bunny had a busy weekend

By Journal Staff

The Easter Bunny was busy with events in town and at Roche Harbor over the weekend.

The San Juan Island Fire Fighters Association joined with the chocolate egg-distributing rabbit on Spring Street for a parade and greeted kids. At Roche Harbor, thousands of eggs were dyed and hidden for the annual Easter egg hunt. The Easter Bunny and his friend Carrot made an appearance before the egg hunt.
