PROCTOR—About two dozen families came out to the Proctor Skating Rink on Saturday morning for pancakes and hugs with the Easter Bunny, who arrived on the scene in a Proctor Fire Department truck, much to the delight of parents and children alike.
Inside the clubhouse, Megan and Brian Cannucci, who run the rink, served pancakes and hot chocolate while the Bunny (played with great commitment by Proctor Town Manager Michael Ramsay) made himself available for hugs, high fives, and photos.

Children from infancy to adolescence beamed as the Easter Bunny mingled with the crowd. Even the teens couldn’t help smiling and accepting hugs.
Outside, Tim Garrow of Proctor, and his daughter Janelle, strew scores of pastel-colored eggs around the grounds for the kids to come find after their pancakes.
According to the Cannuccis, spring will be busy at the rink: a playground will be set up on the grounds and the roller-skating season will soon resume. Anyone who prefers rubber wheels to steel blades will be glad to get out on the rink again.
