Apr 2, Maine Easter Events 2015

By this time of year, who doesn't look forward to

the sight of a

floppy-eared

Easter Bunny! Especially in Maine, where after a long winter his

presence is such a sure sign that Spring has arrived! And since the

Bunny

will be hopping around at many of the Maine

Easter events for 2015, finding him should not be

difficult!

To celebrate the special holiday, there of course

will be lots of

Easter Egg

Hunts

in Maine...

...an Easter Parade, and entertainment for

children with both outdoor and indoor activities and events.

Although Easter often brings to mind

images of

flowers and Easter bonnets...

...keep one thing in mind, the date of Easter 2015

is April 5th...

...which means that it will still be cool. Snow on

that date is not unheard of! So, keep

an eye on the forecast to be sure that your kids (and you!) are dressed

warm enough for

the outdoor events.

you have a 2015 Maine Easter Event to share?
