The Easter Bunny is asking the children who visit him, if they are able, to donate a canned vegetable or canned fruit.  The Easter Bunny promises to load up his Easter basket full of donations before he leaves Quakertown to prepare for Easter and hop on over to the Quakertown Food Pantry and drop off all donations to help our needy neighbors have an "eggsceptional" Easter.

        The 41st Annual Easter Egg Hunt will be held the weekend before Easter on Saturday, March 19 and will begin promptly at 1 p.m. Over the years, the Quakertown Farmers Market's Annual Egg Hunt has become a well-loved family fun tradition and is attended by thousands. Participants big and small are reminded to arrive early and to bring a basket. The Easter Bunny and the Quakertown Farmers Market have prepared more than 1,000 prize eggs and more than 14,000 candy-filled eggs this year in anticipation of the eager participants. The hunt area is located next to the north entrance and directional signs will be posted the day of the event. Age categories include 0-3, 4-6, 7-9, and a special needs hunt area.      Through the continued generosity of the Quakertown Farmers Market, all hunt participants also receive a free participation gift for simply taking part in the hunt event. Rain date for this year's "Eggstravaganza" is Sunday, March 20 at 1 p.m. sharp.
