Merrimac Police and Fire Departments Invite Community to Easter Bunny Ride
MERRIMAC – Police Chief Eric M. Shears and Fire Chief Larry S. Fisher are pleased to share that Merrimac Police, Fire and the Santa Committee will escort the Easter Bunny around town on Saturday.
WHEN:
Saturday, April 16, starting at noon
WHERE:
The Easter Bunny will begin and end the tour at the Fire Station, 16 East Main St., in two shifts.
The tour will follow the route of the 2021 Merrimac Santa Parade, subject to weather and road conditions. A list of the streets that the Easter Bunny will visit can be found here.
A GPS tracking device will track the Easter Bunny’s path across town. Community members can follow the route here.
WHAT:
The Easter Bunny, joined by first responders, will tour Merrimac’s streets and wave to residents.
“This is a great way to celebrate the Easter season,” Chief Fisher said. “We encourage residents to come out on Saturday to wave or take a photo of the Easter Bunny as the parade passes by.”
The event is sponsored by the Police and Fire Departments and the Merrimac Santa Committee.
“Please join us as we welcome the Easter Bunny back to the streets of Merrimac this year,” Chief Shears said. “This event would not have been possible without the dedication of our first responders and the Merrimac Santa Committee. We thank them all for organizing this festive event.”
Help the Santa Committee:
The Merrimac Santa Committee needs to raise more than $16,000 each year for the annual Christmas parade and to support Santa’s Christmas Eve route through the streets of Merrimac. Your donation of any amount will help keep these traditions in the present format.
Donations are accepted year-round at the Merrimac Light Department or Merrimac Santa Committee, P.O. Box 131, Merrimac, MA 01860.
