HAPPY EASTER Hunting for sweet treats this weekend in Katikati
Katikati is getting overrun with bunnies galore throughout the main street and at popular venues. The community is gearing up for a long weekend of Easter egg hunting, painted rock hunting, competitions, a movie and various church services.
Eves Katikati has a fun family event with 10 green Easter bunny eggs scattered throughout the town.
The idea is for families to chase down the bunny egg posters, note the location or take a photo, send it into Eves and get a sweet treat.
Melissa Kelly and Joanne Hurne came up with the Easter egg idea.
”We just wanted to do something for the community.
”We’ve all been through the Covid situation, we’ve been separated for two and a half years so it’s time to come together now and do something fun,” Melissa says.
Families don’t need to register, just do the hunt and email back the list of venues or photos by Easter Sunday. Either email Melissa on melissa.kelly@eves.co.nz or joanne. hurne
Katikati Leos Club members are planting painted rocks in Haiku domain for kids to find on Saturday morning from 10am to noon and exchange for chocolate Easter eggs.
Katikati Bird Gardens are having their annual Easter egg hunt on Sunday. Children can set out to find one of 300 coloured balls hidden in the gardens. When children return to the cafe´ with their ball they can swap it for an Easter egg.
There is also a secret number of rabbits placed around the gardens for the children to find and count. Binky the Easter Egg Bunny will be on hand. Regular admission prices apply.
