Ø April 3 (Saturday) 9:00 am, or 11:00 am, or 1:00 pm or 3:00pm *EASTER BUNNY HIDES EGGS FOR AREA CHILDREN* Bemis Farms Nursery and Worcester County 4-H have combined resources to offer a free fun and educational day for families in Central MA. On Saturday, April 3rd, the Easter Bunny will hide thousands of candy-filled eggs at the Ninth Annual Easter Egg Hunt at Bemis Farms Nursery. The event will be held rain or shine in the park-like setting of the nursery. *(See below for times) *The egg hunt is *FREE AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC*. Children of all ages may attend, and will have the chance to see the Easter Bunny hopping around as they hunt for eggs, so cameras are encouraged. In addition to the hunt, everyone can participate in nature’s annual rebirth by interacting with an assortment of farm animals that will be at Bemis Farms Nursery that day to help celebrate spring’s arrival. The animals will be shown by Worcester County 4-H members and staff, who will be available to answer questions about joining local clubs or attending 4-H camp this summer.              

“The Easter Bunny sent us a text message from his BlackBerry (that he keeps charged in the blackberry patch of his garden) to let us know that egg production is on target,” confirmed nursery co-owner Tina Bemis. “He gave us the following hunt schedule to assure us that all children can gather plenty of eggs, regardless of the pace in which they hunt.”
