Using a helicopter and nearly one hundred volunteers, over 25,000 plastic eggs will descend onto a football field at George Pierce Park in Suwanee on Sat., March 15. The event, sponsored by Fusion Church, is for kids 12 and under and will also feature a kids play zone and prizes. The event and registration begin at 10:00 am and the egg drop will happen at 11:00 am.
Tony McCollum, senior pastor of Fusion Church, said, "We wanted to do something for the community this Easter that wouldn't soon be forgotten, and we think this spin on the traditional Easter egg hunt will accomplish that." There will be candy in every egg, and some eggs will be redeemable for special prizes like Nintendo Wii's, Nintendo DS's, iPod touch's, cash and a 37" LCD TV! Prior to the egg drop there will be the Eggland play area featuring games and activities for children under the age of three.
Immediately after the helicopter drops the eggs, children three years old to 12 years old will be released on to the field filled with the colorful eggs to collect as many treasures as they can. The field will be divided into 3 sections by age so that every child has a fair chance of collecting eggs.
McCollum, no stranger to Easter egg hunts with four children all under the age of 13, adds, "We are always looking for creative and fun ways to show Gods love to folks and we think an extreme egg drop is just the ticket. It's going to be a blast. We invite everyone to join us!"
