Deadline for Campbell's Bunnies and Bonnets Parade Participants Wednesday

Participants must have their forms in to the Campbell Express by March 13 if they want to be in the parade.

 

There's nothing quite like a hometown parade. Campbell has perfected this.

The 15th annual Bunnies & Bonnets Parade takes place March 30 at noon in downtown Campbell and participation is open to everyone and free (for non-commercial entities).

"We want to let people know we have a downtown," says event organizer Sally Howe. "It’s such a good community feeling kind of thing."

The event takes place the same day as the Campbell Kiwanis Club's 33rd annual Eggstravaganza Easter Egg Hunt at the Campbell Community Center, 10:30 a.m. sharp, which in the past has attracted thousands of young egg hunters (2 to-12-years-old) to its fields.

"We’re not only celebrating that the next day is Easter but celebrating our neighborhoods," Howe says. "It brings the community together. I personally enjoy it so much. Its fun to see. 'That’s the scout troop!' 'And look at those moms walking.' It really is warm and fuzzy."

In 2012, there were about 25 local groups that participated, including schools, businesses and non-profits. The day's event will include marching bands, baton dancers, classic cars, floats, chalk drawing on the street and more.

For those interested in participating in the parade, please fill out the attached form and either email or drop off with Sally Howe, showe@campbellexpress.com or the Campbell Express office at 334 E. Campbell Ave.

I am impressed with CalTrans ability to do the cleanup, but the problem of homelessness does not goRead More away. Until we find a way to help these people in need, the camps will just move to another location, and everything will start all over again. The homeless need help - whether they want it or not. It's time to get that ball rolling.

Who is Tony Faber? Here is some history from a family member. My name is Karen Hunt and myRead More grandfather is and was Albert Jacob Faber. He owned and ran that bike shop up until his death in 1975. Subsequent to grandpa's death the house/building became the property of my grandmother, Lucille Faber. Upon her death, the property went to my mother, Jackie Faber-Cornick. In 1978, the business, not the building was sold to Alex Lariviere and he has conducted business since. The building was never sold and belongs to my mom, Jackie Cornick. It was her great-grandparents home back in the 1920's. We are shocked and saddened by this tremendous loss. At this time, we are trying to decide the fate of that beloved building. We are currently awaiting forensics tests, engineering and structural reports, and working with the City to keep it safe and prevent it from being vandalized and becoming a blight. I'm happy to answer any questions you might have about the history of Faber's Cyclery. My grandfather was a man of character and integrity. Sadly, neither of his two sons became involved in the business. With that said, anybody claiming to be a Faber or son of Albert Jacob, is just misrepresenting the truth. Thank you for sharing your story and memories! Very truly yours, Karen Hunt Great grandaughter of the owner of the Original Fabers Cyclery.
