Saturday's City of Martinez and Lion's Club Easter activities enticed an estimated 1500 to 1800 visitors to Waterfront Park to enjoy what turned out to be "an eggs-tra special day," quipped Barbara Patchin of the Recreation Department.
Unlike our neighbor to the south, Martinez's municipal Easter celebration is entirely cost-free, and hundreds of families took advantage of the planned events by showing up at 10 a.m. for an egg hunt, face painting, pictures with Mr. Bunny (a.k.a. a young staff member dressed in a giant bunny suit) before lingering afterwards to enjoy picnicking on the freshly-cut grassy lawns under a sunbeam-filled, robin's egg-blue sky.

"The hunt started at ten a.m. and was over by 10:02 a.m.," said Recreation staff.
Even the City's K-9 unit joined the festivities. Kids got to meet the four-legged officer known as "Dark," who posed with Mr. Bunny and silently tolerated many a patting and petting by little hands.
