We’ve come to think of Easter as one day, but historically it was considered too big a deal to only be celebrated for a single day. Instead, historically, Easter was celebrated for a full 50 Days after Easter Sunday! Certainly it starts with Easter Sunday and an awesome celebration of Jesus' victory over sin and death via the resurrection, but then it continued with festive shenanigans for a full 50 Days. This Easter we’d love for you to join us for one of our 3 Easter Sunday Celebrations at 8, 945 or 1130 at Grandstreet Theatre. Then join us for some of the 50 Days of Easter festivities.

Easter Egg Stuffing

Sunday, April 7, 2024

4.00pm

Downtown Walking Mall

(Outside Ten Mile Creek Brewery & Big Dipper Ice Cream)

Join us as we prepare for our annual Easter Egg Hunt on Mt. Helena! You might note, this year we are celebrating the 50 Days of Easter, and part of this means our Egg Hunt is taking place three weeks after Easter. Sounds pretty odd, but we’re doing it anyway! To get ready for the egg hunt, our egg stuffing will take place on Sunday, April 7th at 4.00pm on the downtown walking mall, just outside Ten Mile & Big Dipper Ice Cream. We’ve got 10,000 eggs to stuff and enough candy and toys to get the job done! See you there!
