We're laying out a warm welcome for the Easter Bunny with the Easter-avaganza Color Explosion and Holiday Parade Saturday, April 19. The fun runs from noon-4pm at Biggs Park on East Fort Bliss. The parade starts at noon at the front of Biggs Park and will follow a route that is approximately one mile long.

Take part in the Easter parade with decorated strollers, bikes, scooters, wagons and more ... the sky is the limit, as long as your vehicle is non-motorized. No motorized vehicles will be allowed along the parade route. Pets are allowed along the parade route, but not inside Biggs Park. Parade pre-registration is encouraged - it helps us allot the right amount of time for the parade, and plan the correct amount of security to keep everyone safe while we're having fun. Fill out the form at www.blissmwr.com/easter to pre-register. Please arrive before the start time to line up for the parade.

Once you're in the park, enjoy free color explosions and free photos with the Easter Bunny. Get creative and have fun with colorful games and crafts presented by Fort Bliss family readiness groups - all proceeds raised will benefit the FRGs' unit funds.

Take advantage of the beautiful spring weather and pack up your picnic basket for a family picnic! No glass containers or alcoholic beverages are allowed. There will also be food and beverage vendors on hand.

Easter-avaganza is generously sponsored by USAA and Viva Auto Group. Coolers, picnic baskets, lawn chairs and blankets are welcome. Pets, glass containers and alcoholic beverages are prohibited. For more information, call (915) 588-8247.
