Happy Easter!

On March 31, 2012, DuPont hosted its first "Breakfast with the Easter Bunny." A fundraiser for the DuPont Fire Department, this event was held in the fire bay. Tickets cost ten dollars per person, but children two years and younger were free. About 100 people attended the festivities.

The buffet-style breakfast was served in the fire bay. Bacon, scrambled eggs, hash browns, fresh fruit, pancakes and muffins were served. Orange juice, milk, and hot chocolate were also included.

After breakfast, families were encouraged to take photos of their children with the guest of honor -- the Easter Bunny.

Children especially liked having their photos taken on the fire trucks at the fire bay. They thought it was great fun when the firemen turned on the lights and sounded the siren.

If your community is looking for a fundraiser to benefit your fire department, police department, or museum, I recommend hosting a "Breakfast with the Easter Bunny." This event is wonderful for families with children. We had such a good time that I'm already planning to take the children again next year.
