Spring is on the horizon in Rockford, Illinois, and a sure sign of its arrival will be hopping into the CherryVale Mall soon!

Illinois Winter Frustrations

Spring is just a couple weeks away, but as a parent, I'm not sure I will make survive until then.

Between the "I'm bored" whining and the begging to go outside and play in our mud and dog poop pit of a backyard, I'm about to lose my mind.

These children need warm days to play outside in, and mommy needs to see sunshine and green grass again.

If you are a parent who also needs to see signs that spring is coming soon, here's a big one to mark on the calendar.

The Easter Bunny Is Coming Soon to CherryVale Mall

The first day of spring might be March 20, but for many it doesn't feel like spring until the Easter Bunny makes his grand appearance, which will be happening Wednesday, March 26!

Now that you know when you need to have your kids' pastel finery ready for photo perfection, here are a few more important things to remember about visiting the Easter Bunny at CherryVale Mall:

  1. Visiting the Easter Bunny is free, but you have to purchase a photo package to take a picture with him.
  2. The Easter Bunny will be available for meet and greets every day starting March 26 through April 19.
  3. Mondays are pet friendly days, so bring your fur baby to get a pic with the Easter Bunny.
  4. Photo reservation times can be made in advance, but are not required.

There's no doubt that many more Easter fun announcements will be made in the Rockford area soon, and we'll do our best to keep you informed on our app!
