Things are hopping at the Canadian Bushplane Heritage Centre as they get set for the return of their Easter Pet Extravaganza, a family and pet-friendly event that organizers say promises "a day full of fun and pets".

Scheduled for March 30, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., the event welcomes individuals, families and their pets to engage in a variety of activities, all while supporting a great cause, the centre said in a news release.

Event highlights include:

  • Goat Yoga: "Experience the joy and relaxation of yoga with the playful addition of goats. It's a perfect way to stretch and laugh your way into spring."
  • Photos with the Easter Bunny: "Capture the magic of Easter with a memorable photo opportunity with the Easter Bunny. Perfect for children, your pets and the young at heart and its free!"
  • Cookie Decorating: "Unleash your creativity with Easter-themed cookie decorating. A sweet treat that's fun to make and even more fun to eat.
  • Dog's Got Talent: Watch talented dogs show off their skills and tricks."
  • Scavenger Hunt: "Embark on an Easter scavenger hunt throughout the Bushplane Museum. Fun and surprises await around every corner."
  • Face Painting: "Perfectly Painted Faces is back for free face painting!"
  • Eden's Reptiles & Entomica: "Get up close and personal with fascinating reptiles and insects, offering an educational experience that's as entertaining as it is informative."
  • Piglet Cuddles: "Piglets are coming!"

Tickets are available for purchase online here or can be bought in person on the day of the event. Prices are $6 for adults and $12 for kids.

All proceeds will support the Canadian Bushplane Heritage Centre and Entomica Insectarium, contributing to their ongoing efforts to educate and inspire through aviation history and entomology.

"The Easter Pet Extravaganza is proudly sponsored by Irwin Dentistry, a local supporter of community events and initiatives. Their generous contribution helps make this event possible," the heritage centre said.
