“This is a great opportunity for the Junior League to host an event that means so much to the community,” Junior League of Tuscaloosa President Austin Butler said. “Funds raised from this event allows our organization to continue our work of developing the potential of women, as well as providing charitable support to important causes in our community.”

The nonprofit will take over for Tuscaloosa's One Place, which was the previous host organization.

“The first Northport Bunny Trail event was such a huge success, and we saw how much the community enjoyed having a spring event,” Tuscaloosa’s One Place Executive Director Kevin Besnoy said. “We are so pleased that the Junior League of Tuscaloosa will be taking lead on this year’s event and appreciate their commitment to growing this effort for many years to come”.

The Northport Bunny Trail is set to open to the public March 1 and last through Easter Sunday, on March 31.

The trail will once feature eggs decorated and sponsored by local businesses, organizations, and individuals.

The Junior League of Tuscaloosa also said the trail will host several free spring-themed events, with proceeds from sponsorships and donations going to benefit the Junior League of Tuscaloosa.

Northport City Administrator Glenda Webb also voiced the city's support for the return of the Bunny Trail for a second year.

“Supporting local business and enhancing growth is a priority for the City of Northport, and events like the Bunny Trail give us a platform to highlight our businesses,” she said “We appreciate the partnership with the Junior League, and we can’t wait to see all the visitors in downtown Northport enjoying the Bunny Trail."
