A residential community in Chisholm hopped into Easter celebrations on Saturday 1 April, with an
afternoon of food, entertainment, and over 3,500 eggs.

The event held at Waterford by AVID Property Group (Waterford) had 900 community members in
attendance and included a 3,500 Easter egg scramble among other activities, all while raising funds
for the Thornton Rural Fire Brigade.

AVID Property Group NSW Project Director Nathan Huon said the event was one of many held in the
growing community.

“Waterford has a very strong sense of community so whenever we host events like these the residents
are always out in full force, connecting with their neighbours and friends,” Mr Huon said.

“We are proud these events also act as an opportunity to support local groups including the Thornton
Fire Brigade, who we previously raised $2,000 for at last year’s Christmas carols.”

The Easter event included a petting zoo, DJ, kids performer, photobooth, giant lawn games, mini golf,
face painting, balloon sculpting, craft activities, an Easter egg scramble and a very special visit from
the Easter Bunny.

“The children could hardly contain their excitement when the Easter Bunny arrived and families were
able to get some great photos together on the day,” Mr Huon said.

At first, organisers thought over 3,500 eggs for the Easter scramble may be too many, but as guests
flowed in, they quickly realised it was just enough.

“Word spreads quickly about Waterford events, so it was certainly a significant turnout, but it was a
delight to see so many people getting involved,” Mr Huon said.

This is the eighth time the Waterford and neighbouring Harvest team have hosted an Easter event
with its Christmas events and Sunday live music sessions well known in the Maitland community.
