9 Why an Easter Egg Hunt? Good Friday is a statutory holiday and Easter is an established North American holiday Easter egg hunts are common events attended by families with young children Positions the homestead as an organization that gives back to the community Ability to host the event on-site

10 What We Did Held a fundraising Birthday Bake Sale Partnered with The Brant County Optimist Club Pitched the event to local media Created a Facebook page for the event Posted flyers in St. George, Paris, Brantford, and Hamilton Secured in-kind donations from local businesses

11 What Worked Well Paired event with a holiday Partnered with the Optimist Club Hosted the event on-site Expanded on traditional egg hunts Free admission Sign-in sheets Recycled plastic eggs

12 What Would We Do Differently? Secure more chocolate Keep eggs with prize tickets separate Put a sign at the Blue Lake Rd & Hwy 24 intersection
