The Great Easter Egg Hunt of 2011

Today, I got to be a part of something really cool.  My church, Fredonia Hill, held the biggest Easter egg hunt I've ever seen.  The last few weeks, thousands of invites went out to the community, and in the newspapers and TV.  Over 5000 people showed up for the festivities.  In addition to over 15,000 eggs, there were also several inflatable games, face painting and crafts for the children and families to enjoy!

The highlight of the day for me was a helicopter fly-over by the Easter Bunny himself!  He flew over a large field at the park and dumped 4 large sacs of eggs, which were added to the thousands of eggs the volunteers had already spread out.  Once the kids were unleashed, every single egg was snagged in less than 30 seconds.  It was a real stampede of kids!  About 5 min later, the Easter Bunny came back around for a surprise second pass, to the delight of all the youngins.



Afterwards, lunch was provided to all in attendance.  The over 200 volunteers from Fredonia Hill got to show Jesus' love to our community.  It was a wonderful morning!  Happy Easter to all.  He is risen!
