On the Bunny Trail: 9 Places to Find the Easter Bunny this Year
Contrary to popular belief, the Easter Bunny does not live on Easter Island. While his exact home is unknown, it is believed that the Easter Bunny begins delivering eggs and candy from the South Pacific and travels west all the way to the United States, visiting other countries along the way.
While Santa Claus has elves that lend a hand in the North Pole, the Easter Bunny has helping hares that paint real eggs and fill plastic ones with sweets and treats. During the Easter season, the Bunny and his helpers take their show on the road. Here are nine Lehigh Valley spots where you can find the Easter Bunny this year.
