A large crowd filled Lewes Canalfront Park April 8 to celebrate the annual Bunny Bonanza, which included arrival of the Easter Bunny on a Freedom Boat Club pontoon boat. Escorted by the Sea Sisters, the bunny arrived exactly at 10:30 a.m. Even before he docked, excited youngsters had gathered to greet him.
Thanks to the efforts of volunteers and the Friends of Canalfront Park, children were able to gather 7,000 candy-filled eggs set out in boats in the park.
