Bunny Brunch and Easter Egg Hunt Set for March 21 at Harvest Ridge

Harvest Ridge at the Holmes County Fairgrounds will host the Bunny Brunch and Community Easter Egg Hunt on Saturday, March 21, bringing together Cardinal Therapy Group, the Holmes County Board of Developmental Disabilities, and Holmes County 4-H/OSU Extension for a morning built around children of all abilities.

The free Easter egg hunt will include sensory-friendly and wheelchair-accessible hunting areas, a deliberate design choice rooted in a conversation Angie Willard of Cardinal Therapy Group and Sharon Allison of HCBDD had last year about creating a community event centered on individuals with special needs. "We're very excited and believe we have some awesome agencies and a great day planned for the entire community," Willard said. "We're anticipating a big turnout that brings our community together."

Exclusively Yours will host the brunch portion from 8 to 11 a.m., priced at $12 for adults, $5 for children ages 4 to 10, and free for children 3 and under. The broader event runs from 9 a.m. to noon at 8990 Township Road 301 in Millersburg.

The morning's lineup extends well beyond eggs and brunch. Youngsters can visit the Easter Bunny, take part in science experiments, and collect giveaways. The Holmes County Fair BeYou Livestock Show will run a petting zoo on site, and the Holmes County 4-H Rabbit Committee will have rabbits available for kids to meet. Parents and caregivers can step away to speak with professionals gathered at the Early Childhood Community Partner Fair, running concurrently throughout the morning.

Kissel Amusement will provide indoor carnival rides for families who want to extend their stay past noon, when the brunch activities wrap up. The rides give the event a second wind after the egg hunt crowd settles.
