The Easter Bunny made a stop at the Longleaf Trace Park in Prentiss April 5 for the Easter Extravaganza.

Children of all ages had a fun-filled morning playing games, having their face painted and participating in an Easter Egg Hunt.

Several special golden eggs filled with cash prizes were found by the participants.

Children were also able to visit and have their photo made with the Easter Bunny.

The Easter Story was read by Rachel Thompson and a dance performance by Everlean Goode.

Many churches passed out snacks and drinks and the Prentiss and Bassfield Public Libraries offered information about upcoming events.

Friends of Prentiss is a group formed of committed residents working to improve the community through projects and events.

The group held a cake giveaway prior to the event to help pay for the extravaganza and received over $500 in donations.

Future events planned by the Friends of Prentss include a yard sale on May 3 and a cake sale and giveaway on May 10.
