April 7-8 Weekend

All Weekend

Craft Sale

     Come on down and celebrate the resurrection of Christ in style.
     Craft sales are the only reason to exist through the shitty seasons (Spring and Fall). Also, the Ottawa Convention Centre is so beautiful there are no valid reasons to not go there for Easter weekend. There are going to be over 180 artists and designers. That is the same number of degrees that is half a whole circle.
     From the event calendar: “It’s a great opportunity to freshen up your spring wardrobe and find items to brighten up your home and garden.”
     Probably any awesome haggling skills you possess are best left at home. Turns out crafters are pretty serious about their wares. You’re an artist  — we know. 

Ottawa Convention Centre, 55 Colonel By Drive. $7.00. All Weekend –see website for times. 613-241-5777www.originalsshow.ca

Easter at the Canada Agriculture Museum

     Ah! Animal babies!
     Although the Agricultural farm was a let down before, there is no amount of baby animals too little to stop me from throwing money at whoever is keeping them.

     You’ll be able to help make delicious Easter bread in the demonstration kitchen, learn a bunch of EGGciting (hahahahahaha kill me.) facts and astonishing feats of the household egg, take opportunities to heavily pet some lambs, and to check out fluffy little new born chicks who will hopefully be more polite than grown up chickens.
Agriculture Museum, Prince of Wales Drive. $9.00. All Weekend, 9:30am-4pm. 613-991-3044.

Saturday

Easter Egg Hunt at the Diefenbunker

    Buh! Before you make the decision to go there, check out the website.
    I know it’s relevant, but the weird flashing header at the top of the screen is alarming. There’s an inexplicable, hat wearing silhouette of a man (Scaramouche! Scaramouche!) slowly lowering into the darkness, a terrifying figure in a gas mask, some culvert looking tunnel thing. It really is alarming.
     And a great place to search for Easter eggs with your loved ones!

     The bunker is 100 000 square feet of egg hiding fun. There will even be an opportunity to make an Easter themed craft!
     Murdery undertones aside, it seems like a sweet place to lose your kids for a couple hours.

UPDATE- Shucks. It looks like the bunker is undergoing some maintenance so the morgue will not be accessible to visitors until further notice. The morgue.

Diefenbunker, 3911 Carp Road. Event free with admission ($14.00). Saturday, 11am-4pm. 613-839-0007.
