JUSTIN IS THE EASTER BUNNY
Of course there'll be bunnies
Easter activities include a dog parade amid the usual egg hunts.
By James E. Fowler, Times Staff Writer
JUSTIN RUDD did not set out to become Long Beach's Easter weekend activities maven. It just turned out that way. "I just love Easter," Rudd says. "And I love celebrating it with two- and four-legged creatures."
Southern Californians' celebrations of Easter are as varied as the population itself. Some will attend Sunday services at the Hollywood Bowl, the Crystal Cathedral in Garden Grove or the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels in downtown Los Angeles, while others will go to their local places of worship. But the Easter holiday also has a busy secular side.
Rudd started his Haute Dog Easter Parade seven years ago. About 500 dressed-up canines will strut up and down a 12-block sidewalk route along 2nd Street in Belmont Shore in Long Beach on Sunday. The parade begins and ends at Livingston Park, and the two top dogs win free food for a year, with other prizes for the runners-up. This year the event will also feature a pet adoption fair. Proceeds go to animal-related charities.
On Saturday, Rudd is also sponsoring an egg hunt on the beach in Long Beach, but to participate, adults, teens and older children must volunteer for a 30-minute beach cleanup at 10 that morning. The hunt — which is not suitable for younger children, Rudd says — will begin about 10:40 a.m., and each of the more than 2,500 eggs will have something inside: $1, $5 and $10 bills, coins, candy, gift certificates, flower seeds and a grand prize of two tickets from JetBlue Airways. Though trash bags and gloves are provided for the cleanup, egg hunters are advised to bring their own Easter baskets.
