A week before the holiday, the Easter Bunny was seemingly everywhere, and even the youngest of children got a chance to visit with him after everyone missed out on Easter events last year due to the pandemic. Here, Danny Michael Matthews, all of 17 days old, gets a hug Saturday morning at the Mauldin House in Clarkesville.
The Easter Bunny had time to stop by the drive-through event at Mt. Carmel Baptist Church in Demorest, where the organizers provided free lunches for everyone attending and tasty treats for kids.
Participants in the drive-through Easter display at Mt. Carmel Baptist Church in Demorest on Saturday morning included (on crosses, from left) Jairus Spurlock, Ethan Pruitt and Matthew Graham. On the ground are Madison and Jana Ward.
The Easter Bunny visits with Hannah Hilliard, 3, and her sister Natalie, 9 at the Mauldin House gardens in Clarkesville.
Several churches and community organizations held Easter events last weekend to kick off the holy week.
