OAKHURST—Looks like the Easter Bunny is hop-hop-hopping around the area this week all the way from Fish Camp to Bass Lake to parts beyond. If you don’t feel like coloring Easter eggs, there are plenty of adult options to choose from as well. And who’s to say that adults can’t have fun coloring eggs! Of special note this week is the 34th Annual Raymond Parade, which takes a few steps back into Madera County’s history.
