Time for an Easter Egg Hunt…..Get Ready for a Bunny Beat Down

In that magical, religious place that we call New York City, it’s that time of year again. It’s Easter in the Big Apple and that can only mean one thing: it’s time for ?Full Bunny Contact?. The headline event involves a cage full of plastic Easter eggs stuffed with prizes. Each two person team has 60 seconds to grab whatever they can and put them in a basket. Sounds like a piece of, well, candy doesn’t it? Be on the lookout for three people costumed as the Easter Bunny whose job is to push, shove, swat, block and snatch their prize laden eggs out of your grubby little hands.

This event comes from the twisted mind of Timothy Haskell, who, for the last 11 years has scared the heck out of New Yorkers on Halloween. The festivities for Full Bunny Contact include a ?Shoot the Peep? contest and a dunk tank where you can douse Jesus, John the Baptist and members of the Westboro Baptist Church. While not necessarily inappropriate for children, parents are cautioned to visit the website before traumatizing little Kiersten/Kristen/Kirsten or Colton/Mason/Peyton.

To round out the carnival atmosphere, there will be food trucks, game booths, a D.J. and a bar. Egg decorating contests and a bunny beauty pageant are thrown in the mix, as well. However, the highly anticipated event will be the ?Temper Tantrum? contest for children with the goal of screaming and demanding candy the loudest. The audience will determine the winner awarded a shower of sweets.

Let the nightmares begin.
