Fun Hops at Friends Spring Event

By |

The Friends of Suffield’s “Welcome Spring” egg hunt and bunny visit on April 6 at Spaulding School brought baskets full of joy to local kids and their families. In addition to visiting the Bunny, little ones searched for treat-filled eggs, got to meet – and pet – a couple of real bunnies, enjoyed spring-themed games and much more. One of the day’s most popular activities was face painting, graciously provided by the artistic pros from The Suffield Players. These masters of drama turned out all sorts of magnificently decorated faces – it was no wonder there was a line the whole time for this activity. One young attendee, Cora Tini (5) of Suffield, ranked the face painting as her favorite activity, along with searching for eggs and getting her “spring nails” done.
