The Easter Bunny made an early appearance recently in Canton Township bringing special gifts to a local neighborhood. Canton Leisure Services in cooperation with St. Thomas a'Becket Catholic Church organized the Easter Bunny Express during which 60 Easter baskets were distributed. The event also included a pizza party featuring music provided by a DJ. In addition, St. Thomas a'Becket Church distributed more than $3,000 in field trip vouchers for area businesses, including: Sky Zone, movie theaters, water parks, Ann Arbor Hands-On Museum, art lessons, and more. Children were able to have their picture taken with the Easter Bunny, as well as enjoy Easter candy. "These types of special events help strengthen our community while providing a fun and supportive experience for the participating families," said Chelsea Straub, recreation specialist. "Canton Leisure Services' partnership with St. Thomas a'Becket is an indispensable part of the equation which helps us meet an important community need that would be difficult to achieve without their support." 

This special Easter Bunny Express was designed to engage community members in a personalized festive celebration, as well as provide an opportunity to enhance camaraderie and provide an opportunity for community members to come together in a safe and positive environment, Straub added.
