Winners… Usually when Easter rolls around the children are the ones that get to have all the fun, but Manassas Old Town merchants are giving adults an opportunity to also get into the act and be a winner. From March 18-22, each purchase made at a participating shop or gallery, shoppers will get to select an egg from an Easter bas-ket. All the eggs contain sweet Easter treats; many hide a gift from an Old Town merchant, such as Opera House Gourmet or The Things I Love.
Three of the eggs contain winning tickets for an oversized, plush Easter bunny. They'll be on display around Old Town from shop to shop all that week, so you might catch a glimpse of one while you're shop-ping.
