    On Saturday, April 8, Mayor London Breed, State Senator Scott Wiener, Supervisor Rafael Mandelman welcomed participants to the Castro Merchants Association’s (CMA) annual Eggstravaganza. CMA president Terrance Allen and past president Masood Samarie also welcomed guests to the annual family-friendly block party celebrating Easter and other spring holidays.

    The event included a petting zoo, drag queen story time, live music, and free photos with “The Bunny” played in character by San Francisco Bay Times volunteer coordinator Juan R. Davila.

    Sunday, April 9, found The Bunny on stage with drag performer Vanessa Bousay at the annual Tenderloin Tessie Easter Dinner held at the First Unitarian Church. For more than 40 years, Tenderloin Tessie Holiday Dinners has hosted free dinners in a welcoming environment on Easter, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. More than a thousand people on average participate. Free photos, a fully served dinner, and haircuts by Lovecuts were included, along with a selection of free personal care items.

    The Bunny made yet another appearance, this time on Easter Sunday at Union Square and Denny’s at 816 Mission Street. Special thanks to this busy Bunny and to Leticia Lopez for their highly valued assistance.
