Easter Bunny flies in, hops out of the plane to greet excited children at the Prattville Airport
Lots of people in Prattville were looking up at the sky on Saturday because the Easter Bunny made an extra special entrance. Dozens of children ages ten and under came to the Easter Egg Hunt and Luau at the Prattville Airport to watch in amazement as the Easter Bunny flew in and then hopped out of the plane. Kids then hunted for more than 25 hundred colorful eggs. This is an annual event, and children also received a basket, a lei, a beach ball, and coloring book. They also played games and chowed down on snacks. The event cost $5 and all the money raised benefits Easterseals of Central Alabama.
