Windsor families hop into Easter with fluffy guest of honour

A fluffy celebrity stole the show.

Hundreds of families filled the St. Clair College Centre for the Arts in downtown Windsor Sunday morning for a hot breakfast and a visit with the Easter bunny as part of an annual holiday tradition.

The event served up pancakes, sausages, eggs, and a hopping good time.

The highlight for the young guests is meeting the Easter bunny, said Joe D’Angela, a St. Clair College Centre for the Arts senior director.

“I mean, you can’t go wrong with pancakes, either,” he added.

Kids waited their turn for a photo with the Easter bunny — some eagerly throwing their arms around the big, fluffy rabbit, while others approached with a bit more trepidation.

D’Angela said the event is a great way for families to come together and celebrate the Easter tradition. He said the breakfast is always a popular draw, this year with about 500 people in attendance.

“We had families come out to celebrate — it’s great time,” said D’Angela.

“Throughout the year, we hold these type of events, and it’s great to see people continually come back, especially after COVID.”

In addition to being a great family activity, D’Angela said the event also plays a role in bringing people to downtown Windsor.

“To help strengthen the downtown core, we as a college are committed to hosting events down here that can attract people to come back downtown.”
