Easter Sunday falls on April 9th this year. As you can imagine, the Easter Bunny gets very busy this time of year. But he promised to make as many extra visits as necessary to ensure every little boy and girl spends some time with him. Therefore, you may find a few different Ventura County Easter Egg Hunts and other fun activities with the Easter Bunny between now and Easter Sunday.
