SEASIDE HEIGHTS – Spring had sprung and there was plenty of fun on the borough’s boardwalk on Easter Sunday.
There was a pair of real rabbits to signify the season, along with the Easter Bunny who posed for photos with children and family members.
The borough’s annual Easter Promenade was part of what drew thousands of people to the boardwalk throughout the day. Best dressed children, women, men and families were awarded. There were prize baskets and bicycles raffled off.
Nicole Geib of Westfield, Connecticut brought her big bunnies Berlin,1, and Kaiser, 2 to the boardwalk on Easter. She said she had previously brought costumed rabbits to the event but “none of them were as big as these two.”
Many children and adults stopped along the way near the Franklin Avenue stage where the bicycles and judging took place to pet the two bunnies during the afternoon. “Kaiser is a therapy bunny,” she added.
Winning the best dressed men’s category was Barry Kirk of Toms River. His girlfriend Annette Nappi of Toms River have been together for 17 years and love coming out to the boardwalk for the event. Kirk said, “I won this once before.”
