Hundreds turned out to the Jelly Bean Fling at the Pioneer Florida Museum and Village to take advantage of festivities that included free family photos, an Easter egg hunt, a petting zoo, live entertainment, games and crafts.

Event-goers could make Easter bonnets, too, enjoy a bite to eat, purchase items from vendors and check out the model train room.

And, there were bubbles — showers and showers of bubbles —during the Sphere’s Bubble Magic Show.
