Many festive activities surrounding Easter will take place locally in April, including an Easter Bonnet Parade at Colonia Middle School on April 1. Similar to the parade set for April 7 at Parker Press Park, the Colonia parade will feature contests for best bonnet or hat. The school parade, though, is a fundraiser. Children will be admitted for $5; adults are free. Vendors are needed. There will be a $20 fee per table.
All proceeds will benefit the fund to build a gazebo in the Charlie Shaughnessy Park in Colonia in memory of Marine Cpl. Kevin Reinhard, a resident of the Colonia section of Woodbridge, who died on January 19 in a helicopter crash in Afghanistan. He was 25 years old.
Face painting, a "talking fire truck," a tricky tray for adults and both the Easter Bunny and the Somerset Patriot's mascot will be in attendance.
