On Wednesday, the Easter Bunny was on hand to lift the Easter excitement.
Sergeant Hadjialexiou and Aboriginal Community Liaison Officer Tegan were supporting the Easter Bunny as he made his way to both schools.
The Easter Bunny had some chocolate eggs to hand out to the kids, before hopping off to ensure everything is set up and ready to go for Easter.
Get your time capsule envelopes
Plans are progressing to fill the Rotary Club of Deniliquin time capsule again.
Envelopes have been on sale since last year, and will ramp up again with a scheduled June burial.
Rotarians will be at the Deniliquin Kiosk tomorrow selling envelopes, and on other weekends in April and May.
New envelopes for the 2050 capsule can also be purchased from My Shop in Napier St, 1521 2QN or the Pastoral Times office.
Envelope prices are between $10 to $100, depending on size.
Rotarians say items which could be included in your envelope include letters to children or other loved ones, photographs, reports and any other documentation that reflects life in 2025.

Mrs Milthorpe held a special campaign event at the Coach House Hotel Motel on Friday night.
