VILLAGE OF NORTH SYRACUSE – Mark your calendars for breakfast with the Easter Bunny on Sunday, March 24 from 8-10 a.m. at the Applebees in North Syracuse, located at 628 S. Main St.
All are welcome to the annual Bunny Breakfast Flapjack Fundraiser, now in its 12th year, to benefit the CanTeen Kids Zone at the North Syracuse Family Festival which will be held in May.
The funds raised from the Bunny Breakfast will help support all the activities the Kids Zone has to offer.
According to Patricia Fergerson, chairperson of Friends of the Village of North Syracuse, this is a good cause well worth supporting.
“We always have fun things for the kids like a bounce house and face painting,” she said. “We’re hoping to have more this year for the older aged children like some games they’d enjoy.”
Tickets for the breakfast are $10 for adults and $7 for children and seniors.
Tickets must be purchased in advance and can be reserved by contacting Tony Burkinshaw in the Village of North Syracuse Parks & Recreation Office at 315-458-8050 before March 17.
Breakfast includes three pancakes, two pieces of bacon and unlimited orange juice or coffee.
In addition to breakfast, the Easter Bunny will be on hand for pictures.
Youth who attend the CanTeen, a youth center in Cicero, will be volunteering at the breakfast as greeters and servers.
Fergerson encourages families to come enjoy a good breakfast because it supports an event that is beloved in the community.
“By supporting the fundraiser you’re supporting a family oriented event that has something to offer everyone in the whole village,” Fergerson said.
