Flop E Bunny event moves inside because of driving rain

On Saturday, April 20, the Flop E. Bunny candy hunt event put on by the Belleville Central Business Community at Victory Park had to move inside Victory Station because of the driving rain.
Sixty-one free photos were taken with children posing with Flop E Bunny. The candy hunt was cancelled because of the rain, but children were able to get candy anyway. About 200 people attended the indoor event.
The Kiwanis Club had a brisk book sale inside Victory Station, as well. Kona ice truck was giving away treats outside in the rain and Scoopie from Culver’s was present for a short time inside Victory Station.
Members of CAF 5 also went inside Victory Station out of the driving rain. They were selling hot dogs and drinks to raise money for Community Assistance Foundation 5 (CAF 5) which furnishes glasses and other needs to children in the five communities of the 34th District Court. Taking part were 34th District Court Judge Brian Oakley; twin brothers Kevin and Keith Johnston of Johnston Lithograph (Keith is also board president of Van Buren Public Schools); Karen Mida and James Foley, volunteers extraordinaire; Van Buren Township Public Safety Director Greg Laurain and retired VBT Police Captain Kenneth Brooks, now a 34th District Court officer. Mike Foley of Frosty Boy bought the hot dogs. A&W and Belleville Hardware bought the bikes that were raffled off. The charity made $675.
