Easter came early to the Lou Costello Jr. Recreation Center in Boyle Heights as dozens of area residents –many from the Wyvernwood and Estrada Courts residential areas – gathered to celebrate a “Spring Eggstravaganza & Community Resource Fair” on Saturday afternoon,
The event, sponsored by area elected officials and several local organizations, included an Easter egg hunt for Boyle Heights children.
Boyle Heights Beat spoke with some of the participants at Saturday’s event:
“Es muy bonito y [pienso] que debería de haber más, yo pienso, incluso para que ellos puedanfamiliarizarse y jugar con más niños.”
Fabiola Ramirez
“I think this event was necessary, especially in a post pandemic environment for us to learn what reintegration is for each other. And I think it was just essential for the kids to see how community events can bring a lot of folks together.”
