An Easter Bonnet represents the tradition of wearing new clothes at Easter, in harmony with Spring and the promise of spiritual renewal and redemption. The "Easter bonnet" was fixed in popular culture by Irving Berlin, whose frame of reference was the Easter parade in New York City, a festive walkabout that makes its way down Fifth Avenue from St. Patrick's Cathedral:

In your Easter bonnet
with all the frills upon it,
You'll be the grandest lady in the Easter parade.

In the Spirit of Easter and giving back, we have created an Easter Bonnet contest to raise funds for charity. The ladies of Briggs have each created their own Easter Bonnet. Please vote for your favorite bonnet (see details below), and Briggs will make a donation to the charity of the winner’s choice – one dollar for each winning vote cast.

Happy Easter!
