Thorold BIA annual Easter Egg Scavenger Hunt was a huge success

The annual Easter Egg Scavenger Hunt organized by the BIA was a massive hit this year, with an overwhelming response from the community. The event sold out quickly, attracting approximately 500 people to the downtown.  It was truly a collaborative effort, with many community partners and locals coming together to make it a memorable day for everyone involved.

Community Partnerships and Activities

Various organizations played a key role in making the Easter event a success.  The Thorold Public Library took charge of the check-in desk and also set up a colouring space for the colouring contest, along with a delightful story walk for the children.  Additionally, the Thorold Centre 50+ provided free hot beverages for both children and adults, along with offering face painting, games, treats, and even a visit from the Easter Bunny.  Kidz Who Can added to the fun with a table where children could decode jokes, adding an extra element of excitement to the day.

Thorold Fire Department and Niagara Regional joined in the fun by holding a mini touch-a-truck in the parking lot of the Thorold Community Credit Union.  Thorold Community Credit Union partnered with us to, to allow the BIA to use their space, including use of their lawn, where giant games for kids of all ages to enjoy.

Exciting Activities for Everyone

From free candy and treats (that had to be hunted for by finding balloons outside participating local businesses), live music, free popsicles (provided by Chef and Bub, to a free draw, the event had something for everyone to enjoy.  The atmosphere was filled with joy and laughter as families came together to participate in the various activities planned for the day.  Kids and adults alike, enjoyed live music from local band, Rusty Jacob, making the event even more special for all attendees.

The annual Easter Egg Scavenger Hunt was not just a fun-filled day for the community but also a testament to the power of collaboration and community spirit. It brought people together, created lasting memories, and showcased the best of what a community can achieve when they work together towards a common goal.  Thank you to all who partnered, sponsored, participated and volunteered with us!  Here's to many more successful Easter events in the future!
