The Lansing Chamber brought the Easter Bunny to town on Saturday, March 22 via a  big, white fire engine.  Mr. Bunny met with each of the children, posing as mommies and daddies took their precious photos.  Many children brought the bunny special little notes and gifts. All of the children were treated to free pizza and pop served by the friendly chamber volunteers in their bright yellow shirts.  The bunny gave special prize baskets with candy, coloring books and toys to the winners of his Easter Coloring Contest. Two grand prize winners also received a $50 Savings Bond from Chase Bank.  Thank you's resounded from all the happy children as they waved good-bye after a fun and special morning.

Special recognition goes to our sponsors: Chase Bank, Ultra Foods, Popolano's, Besse Shirt Lettering, our Special Retail Members, volunteers and the Lansing Fire Department.
