Jim Cornelison, Easter Bunny Parading Through 19th Ward Friday

CHICAGO — Children of the 19th Ward neighborhoods of Beverly, Mount Greenwood and Morgan Park who have not had the chance to visit the Easter Bunny this year due to social distancing measures will have a chance to wave from their front doors during a parade through the 19th Ward on Friday, April 10.

The Easter Bunny will be joined by Chicago Blackhawks National Anthem singer Jim Cornelison in a parade down Western Avenue and through the neighborhood from 12:30-2:30 p.m., according to communication from the 19th Ward Office.

The Easter Bunny will be in a convertible car, with Cornelison travelling behind in an antique fire truck. The parade will go slowly past neighborhood residences and feature Cornelison singing uplifting songs and interacting with families from their doorways and front steps, the ward office said.

The parade will leave from the 19th Ward Office at 10400 S. Western Ave. around 12:30 p.m. Due to social distancing precautions in place due to the spread of the new coronavirus, neither the Eastern Bunny nor Cornelison will be able to stop at homes.
