It’s about ‘thyme’ for another Easter Egg Hunt Local nursery, greenhouse sponsors children’s program
Easter,” she said. “I shop year round and look for sales.” The egg hunt keeps growing over the years, but there is no way she would consider stopping. In fact, the family is inextricably linked to the annual event. In 2011, the third year of the event, Colletti’s son Mark was going to be the Easter Bunny, but he passed away the day before at the age of 24. The town thought the Easter Egg Hunt would be canceled, but Colletti said she went over to the school grounds and set up the event, then turned it over to volunteers from the town. “They wanted to cancel it, but I knew there were a lot of kids looking forward to it. I knew my son was looking forward to it,” she said. The Easter Egg Hunt has always been, with no age limits for the children who participate. However, she has learned how to set up the event for the different aged children.
