Easter Egg Hunts and Other Fun Easter Activities Around Ventura County

Here at Conejo Valley Guide we have a special place in our heart for Easter fun! The bunnies of the Conejo Valley and surrounding Ventura County areas are planning ahead to make this Easter memorable.

We have the Germans to thank for the Easter Bunny concept, which came about in the 1500s. Hares and bunnies are signs of fertility and eggs signify rebirth. The Germans brought Easter traditions to America and it wasn't until after the Civil War that Easter became widely celebrated. Now we celebrate by gorging ourselves on candy!

Easter Sunday 2012 is April 8th, 16 days earlier than Easter Sunday 2011. Easter Sunday is the first Sunday after the first full moon following the northern hemisphere's vernal equinox. As a result Easter Sunday ranges from March 22nd to April 25th. So complicated!  Easter next year is March 31. 2013 for you advance planners.

EASTER 2012 IS NOW OVER BUT STAY TUNED FOR EASTER SUNDAY 2013 ON MARCH 31, 2013!!

Spring is Around the Corner Here in Ventura County!

We are nearing that transition period between winter and summer, otherwise known as SPRING! Spring begins on March 20th and this latest work of Camarillo artist Chuck Trunks he calls "To My Surprise" captures some of the spirit of that transition. See his other work on Conejo Valley Guide by clicking here.

And with the coming of spring of course we have a lot of fun things to do around Ventura County. Here are some links for you to explore:
