With Easter just a hop, skip, and a jump away on Sunday April 5, fun activities for families and children are being offered at places all over the community.

Easter Funday returns to Leominster City Hall, 25 West St., this Friday April 3 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Kids and their adults are welcome to the annual Leominster Community Development event that provides the opportunity to visit baby animals in the Wekepeke 4-H Club of Lancaster pen, create crafts with Project Apples/Leominster CFCE and Leominster Public Library Children’s Room staff, and take photos with the Easter Bunny himself.

The yearly Devens Recreation Easter Egg Hunt on Saturday, April 4 at 10:30 a.m. is open to all ages. Participants are encouraged to BYOB – bring you own basket — and there will be candy, prizes, arts, and crafts at the festive affair being held at Rogers Field, 100 Sherman Ave.

The Easter Bunny will be at Lanni Orchards in Lunenburg, 294 Chase Rd. on Saturday, April 4 and available for photos from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Their traditional Easter egg hunt will run from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., where kids ages two to 10 can find 10 eggs each that will be hidden in and around the farm stand with a $5 ticket, and other activities include a jumping pillow — weather permitting and included in the cost — along with crafts, flowers, popcorn, and cotton candy for an additional cost.

Townsend VFW Post 6538 and its Auxiliary will hold their Easter egg hunt on the VFW grounds in West Townsend, 491 Main St., on Saturday, April 4. Children aged nine or younger who live in Townsend or are relatives of Townsend VFW Post or Auxiliary members are welcome to participate and should bring their own basket, bag, or pail for the egg hunt that will begin promptly at 2 p.m. — and it is rumored that the Easter Bunny will make an appearance.

In other holiday news, an impressive Easter display is currently up in the front yard of a home on Viscoloid Avenue in Leominster, weather depending. Lifelong city resident Javier Cuevas and his girlfriend Marisol Pratts put up dozens of colorful, festive inflatables including bunnies, chicks, eggs, and more for people to enjoy.
