It’s spring!

Parents and children flocked to the Easter bunny during the Spring Fling held Friday and Saturday by the Archdale-Trinity Merchants Alliance. The bunny visited several area merchants, who participated in the event. Bonnie Place was probably the most hopping. ‘We had people to stop in for the [free] samples,’ said Wet Whistle owner Carol Hamilton. Archdale Bakery, pictured in the background above, also gave out samples.
