Easter came a little bit early for children in need as the Bakersfield Homeless Center held its annual Easter Egg Carnival.

The event was made possible with the help of the community. Organizers say that this event helps kids who live in the center celebrate the holiday and just enjoy being kids. Children got to fish for toys, take part in an Easter egg hunt, get tons of candy and best of all the Easter bunny even stopped by to enjoy the celebration.
