Hershey's Giant Easter Egg Hunt

 Wow what a couple of weeks. It has been a busy place here at the Museum, getting ready for Hershey’s Giant Easter Egg Hunt. Thank you to the 450 families who took part in this fundraiser for the Museum. Of course we couldn’t do it without help from our volunteers and the generosity of Hershey’s Canada!

This year we even had a bit of sun, which was a nice change. Our hardworking volunteers got a pat on the back from the North Bay Nugget on April 17 when they were issued a ‘bouquet’ in the bricks and bouquet editorial.
