Coombs Country Candy gets an early start on Easter

Owner Murray Lawlor and staff offered treats, activities for Alberni Valley families

Coombs Country Candy held their 11th annual Easter event on a stormy Saturday, April 6 in Port Alberni.

Not rain nor wind could stop children from coming out and enjoying the myriad activities set up outside the business on the Alberni Highway at the entrance to town.

Kids were busy playing with the pets from Clover Patch 4-H, or riding ponies and playing with the goats from the Tiger Lily Farms, dyeing Easter eggs, getting balloon designs by Adley with Sharky Balloons, tasting cotton candy and maple syrup taffy wrapped on a stick.
