Moon Easter Bunny
Neighborhood Hop
Saturday, April 11
Social Distancing doesn't mean we should miss out on the Easter Bunny! Moon Parks and Recreation will be bringing the Easter Bunny to Moon neighborhoods on Saturday, April 11th. The Bunny will be riding in his decorated wagon and he will be going slow enough to wave at everyone (and for parents to take photos from a safe distance). We are encouraging residents to dress up or decorate their yards. We are working hard to develop this new event. A complete timeline with locations will be posted on the Moon Parks
website
and
Facebook
