BELLEVILLE, Ill. — Eckert’s Farm is hosting an Easter event from its parking lot this weekend so visitors can enjoy from a safe social distance.
At the event called “Easter Bunny Hop By” families can drive to Eckert’s Country Store to wave and pass by the Easter Bunny while snapping photos from their cars.
The event will be held this Saturday from 9:30 a.m. to 11 a.m. and on Good Friday, April 10, from 9:30 a.m. to 11 a.m.
“Our annual Egg Hunts and Easter Bunny Brunches are some of our most popular events of the year. While we are saddened to cancel the events, we wanted to provide safe, family fun for our guests to celebrate in their homes this Easter,” said Angie Eckert, vice president of retail operations.
