Wow, the last few days were sure cold, snowy and perhaps an indication Old Man Winter isn't done with us yet.
But there may be no clearer indication that we all want spring to be underway than this weekend’s community event calendar. From an Easter Bunny visit to a forum based primarily around the love of gardening, we’re all thinking about the rejuvenation, green grass and flowers of the months ahead.
Here’s what’s happening in Bradford and Innisfil on Saturday and Sunday:
Breakfast with the Easter Bunny
The Bradford Lions Club will host this meal at the Bradford Community Centre, 125 Simcoe Rd., Saturday, March 23 from 8 a.m. to noon.

Participants are encouraged to bring their cameras. Further information can be found at calendar.townofbwg.com.
