This is the 3rd year that Town of Haub- stadt has sponsored this event along with the Haubstadt Library, Debbie Clark's Italian Ice, and the Easter Bunny. Bonnie Wagner of the Haubstadt Town Hall reports, "I feel this event has taken off. We have balloons, plastic eggs with toys, and Italian Ice treats." She also states, "It is so fun to watch the little ones getting all excited about the Easter Bunny." The Haubstadt Library set up a table to allow the children to participate in an art activity while waiting on the Easter Bunny. The Easter Bunny was busy hiding eggs at the Haubstadt Commu- nity School prior to visiting the Library. Library Director, Laura Happe said, "This is a great way for those in the community to have an individual interaction with the Easter Bunny along with a picture opportunity." Happy faces all around for this occasion at Haubstadt Public Library as the Easter Bunny not only delivers eggs but also smiles. Children of all ages enjoyed the fun activities and of course getting to meet the Easter Bunny. Families come together at Haubstadt Public Library to embrace the arrival of the Easter Bunny hopping into town. Easter Bunny is holding a baby during the visit to Haubstadt Public Library.
