The location for the helicopter egg drop should be Sharon Johnson park not Dublin. I was so confused for a minute. 🙂 Thanks RCM
Thanks, Susie!
Is the Easter Bunny really going to be at the Mall through April 31st? It be nice to be able to go after Easter, but that doesn’t sound right.
Oops – sorry for that typo, Brandy! That should have said March 31st – we corrected it.
Your pricing at 4D farms is wrong. Your website Is not dependable – the cost was double what your site states. They would not honor the price from your site. Thanks for costing people their time and money for falsely advertising prices.
Christin – We are so sorry for the inconvenience to you. We work hard here at RCM to make sure the information we provide is accurate and up to date but sometimes mistakes happen. When we list an event we always list a website or phone number and encourage readers to verify all information before attending an event for this very reason. The Bunny patch is listed on our calendar (https://www.rocketcitymom.com/event/the-bunny-patch-2018-03-31/) and in our Weekend Roundup (https://www.rocketcitymom.com/huntsville-weekend-roundup-march-30-april-1/) with the correct price. It looks like this was a simple typo and certainly not intentional “false advertising” as you stated. Again, we are sorry for the inconvenience our mistake caused you.
Here is another one for April 1st. http://www.huntsville.org/event/easter-egg-hunt-at-pane-e-vino/33656/
