COMMENTARY Party features eggs, Easter Bunny and lots of holiday ‘pride’ CONTINUED FROM PAGE 9 tions. The wives call themselves the “Wom en of Woodsong,” proudly known as “the WOWs.” They gather for “girls’ night out,” and organize the holiday parties. Their hus bands responded with the Men of Wood- song, or “the MOWs,” who gather around a backyard fire pit to talk and drink beer. And, of course, to provide someone to fill the bun ny suit. This year’s bunny got a workout. Brown’s bunny hopped with the kids and posed for photos with just about everybody. “It’s a bit warm in this thing,” he admitted after a while. “My lungs are burning.” Good to know. Brown will have his chance to warn others who don the com munity bunny suit in the future that they should do a little stretching before hippity hopping onto the Easter stage. Each dad who wears the suit writes a letter of advice to fu ture bunnies. The letters are handed down from dad to dad during a ceremony the night before the new bunny makes his debut. How did Brown hold up? “Were good,” he said, holding his arms aloft like a winning ballplayer during March Madness. “I’m feel ing the bunny. It’s that Easter pride.” What Easter pride? He stopped a moment and thought about it. “Helping to continue the tradition,” he said.
