Excited children gathered for their annual Easter egg hunt over the long weekend.
Settlers Run Golf Club in partnership with Harcourts Langwarrin hosted a group of egg hunts during the morning of Good Friday.
Children aged 1-12 participated in filling their buckets with as many chocolate goodies as possible.
There was also face painting and jumping castles adding to the entertainment.
All proceeds from the day were donated to the Good Friday Appeal.
Settlers Run has been running the event for seven years.
“The kids got a bag with an Easter bunny and an Easter egg in it and then they got to collect the little eggs as well,” said Settlers Run Club Operations Manager Melanie Phillips.
“We had some activities for them as well.”
Harcourts Langwarrin has sponsored the event for the past three years.
“Each year we want to continue to grow it,” Harcourts Director Jamie O’Halloran said.
“It’s all for a good cause and that’s very important to us.”
Mr O’Halloran said the Easter Funday was all about “giving back to the community”.
“At Harcourts that’s what we want to do,” he said.
“Grow the brand within the community but also grow the community itself and bring everyone together.”
Other sponsors included Blue Moon Constructions, Mitchell Renovations, Sea Change Conveyancing and Jake’s Gardening and Co.
“Without them we can’t do these sorts of days,” Mr O’Halloran said.
The kids were lining up to have their photo taken with the infamous Easter bunny and to have their turn bouncing on the jumping castles.
There were happy squeals galore from local children all over the club.
