Easter fun for free

A FREE Easter Fun Day offering heaps of family activities including an Easter egg hunt will be hosted by the Wangaratta Baptist Church on Easter Saturday, March 30 at Apex Park. The Easter Fun Day follows the success of six free family fun days staged by the church over the last 18 months, which Pastor Aaron Wardle said had been great community-building events. "So many families are struggling with the cost of living, and so what a great opportunity to bring some hope to our community; this is just another very practical way to do that," he said. The free Easter Fun Day will feature laser tag, an adventure tools toy workshop, face-painting, balloon animal creation, a craft activity, free sausage sizzle and hot cross buns, along with the Easter egg hunt, and will run from 10am to 2pm at Apex Park. "We have had more than 4000 people attend our free family fun days so far, which demonstrates that there is a great need in our town for accessible things for kids and families to do which don't cost anything, and are fun and safe, and we are thrilled to be able to meet that need and provide everything for free, to generously bless our community," Pastor Aaron said. He said support from businesses including Woolworths and Coles, has helped provide sausages and bread for the event. With Easter set to bring visitors to the Wangaratta region, Pastor Aaron said it was a wonderful chance to bring hope to visitors and locals alike. There is no need to book for the Easter Fun Day - children, teens and families are encouraged to turn up on the day; children do remain the responsibility of parents for the duration of the event. The event will go ahead regardless of weather, as there is provision for cover at Apex Park. In addition to the Easter Fun Day, Wangaratta Baptist Church is looking forward to Easter services on Good Friday and Easter Sunday, both at 10am at its church in Sisely Avenue.
