San Diego County parks have set four Easter egg hunts, but are keeping the affairs secular by renaming the featured hopper the “Spring Bunny.”
Events over the next two weeks will feature different activities at each location. Some feature face painting and others pancake breakfasts.
“But the constants at all of them will be a chance to meet the Spring Bunny and lots of eggs – thousands of them!” says the county, whose news release doesn’t use the word Easter.
Last year’s release also avoided any religious references.
“Spring has sprung and all our parks are bursting with color,” says County Parks Director Brian Albright. “Don’t miss out on this opportunity for a fun family outing.”
A county spokeswoman said Spring Bunny is not a new term locally.
Why Spring Bunny?
“Sign of the times,” said Michael Workman, county communications director. “It’s the prudent course of action. Our goal has always been to include all in the communities we serve.”
