The Easter Bunny visited children of all ages in Palm Coast to deliver lots of candy and toy-filled eggs awarded as prizes at a variety of booths, where everyone was a winner. Community partners and city staff hosted booths with activities like ring tosses, sack races, a pirate ship, fingerprinting with the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office and more. Popcorn, cotton candy and sugar cookies were free, while food trucks offered snow cones and lunch fare.
