Three days of searching Taupō town centre for images of the Easter Bunny netted 7-year-old Liam Brunswick a new iPad.

The Taupō Easter Bunny Hunt was a Towncentre Taupō sponsored event, with project coordinator Dervla Murtagh saying the aim was to bring people back to the town centre after a relatively quiet period during the Omicron peak.

A variety of Taupō businesses supported the initiative and had an image of the Easter Bunny displayed in their shop window for the week around Easter.

Dervla says Liam spent three days searching the town centre for the images, along with his big brother Finley, 10, while shopping with their grandparents.

"The Easter Bunny was very impressed that he managed to find 11 of the 12 pictures in shop windows. It is also Liam's 8th birthday next week so it is an awesome early present for him," she says.
