Gammondale Farm is hosting the Easter Festival Saturday April 4th from 11am to 3pm. This long-running, annual event is a local favourite. There are tons of activities for the whole family including horse and buggy rides and an Easter slingshot, but certainly everyone is there for the incredible hunting opportunity. Bring a basket and find all the eggs. All hunt participants will be rewarded with treats and if you’re still hungry don’t forget to head over to the Log House for lunch and visit the bake sale hosted by the Westmount Grade 8 Graduation class. Click here for more info.
