Hundreds of children and their families lined up for the Bunny Hop Saturday in downtown Long Grove on the eve of Easter.
Organizers offered a different take on the traditional egg hunt. Instead of having a mad dash for plastic eggs scattered in a grassy area, kids casually walked through colorful arches and volunteers placed Easter eggs and assorted treats in their baskets.
“It’s a community event in historic downtown Long Grove,” said Lions Club President John Kopecky. “It’s a fun event.”
Two Easter Bunnies, face painting, crafts, a fire engine and live animals including rabbits also were part of the Bunny Hop.
