St. Anselm Youth Activities held its annual Bunny Brunch on Saturday, March 28th, 2026 in Bay Ridge Catholic’s Meletia Hall.
Scores of happy children, parents and grandparents had a fun afternoon ~ dancing to party favorites, playing a host of games, eating the Easter Bunny’s favorite food – pizza, and enjoying a petting zoo with two adorable little piglets. All the while, the children waited for the guest of honor: the Easter Bunny. And when he arrived, he danced his way into the hall, and out onto the dance floor to lead dozens of adoring children in fun dances. Then he posed with the children and their parents for some truly memorable photo ops.
During the afternoon, both adults and children had the opportunity to try their luck on a wonderful selection of gift raffles and the ever-popular 50/50 raffle. We’re sure that many kids and parents went home happy!
