Nearly 100 children line up on their bikes and scooters to follow the fire engine to the park. The idea was quickly changed and the fire engine followed the children to the park as the police cars took the lead.

Stratford Landing held its annual Easter Parade and Egg Hunt on Saturday morning, March 28. Teen volunteers who helped set up the Easter Egg Hunt in the park included Jack Wilson, Allie and Tess Mackey, Peter Stebbins and Christina Hancock. Kingstowne Regal Theatre donated popcorn. Robert Atanda, a Stratford resident and the head trainer for Stratford Youth Soccer, donated money to help defray the cost of the children’s treats.
