Easter market returns

The Easter Eggstravaganza Market is coming back for a second year on April 19 at the Legion. Danielle Stahl and a friend, Christine Jones, had been talking one day about the town and how, since it was growing, there is not always enough room at the markets with vendor spots often selling out fast. 

“We decided to do a spring market and make it kind of a family day. We try and do it on the same day as Remax puts on their Easter egg hunt,” said Stahl. 

“It’s something to support Strathmore, and we choose the Legion to support the Legion and to hopefully bring people through downtown to kind of support the downtown businesses too.”

The day promises to be a fun family day. 

“We have a few good things going on. We have photos with the Easter Bunny … face painting, we also have a lunch special that the Legion puts on for us, it’s $1 hotdogs so that was a huge hit last year,” said Stahl. 

There will be a kids Easter bonnet contest, where the kids get to craft their own bonnets and then at 2:30 p.m. they will go up on the stage where there will be friendly judging of the best bonnet. There will also be door prizes which will be raffled off at 3:30 p.m. Stahl said you don’t have to be there to win. The market will run from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Some of the vendors include Avon, Epicure, Fairy Dust Creations, Flower Tot accessories, Grace Adele, It Works and much more. 

Head down to the Legion on April 19 to get an early start on Mother’s Day shopping.
