LARGE CROWD Parents helped young children gather Easter eggs from a section of Memorial Park. The festival was attended by hundreds of children and their parents.

Hundreds of children and their parents gathered in Summerland’s Memorial Park on Saturday morning for the third annual Remax Easter Egg-stravaganza.

“We’ve got a lot going on,” said Julia Monforton, organizer of the festival.

Some of the activities included a children’s colouring contest, a bouncy castle, a rock climbing wall, face painting, tours of the fire truck and more.

“It’s a lot of fun and we really enjoy putting it on,” Monforton said.
