Easter Egg Hunt Notes

It certainly was nice not to have to fill 1,500 Easter eggs this year. Target does not have the abundance of filled-eggs this year that we were able to purchase on clearance last year. Neither does Wal-mart. However, there are several companies who sell these eggs. One of them is called N.E.T. Eggs and employs disabled workers to fill the eggs. They offer cases of 1,000 filled eggs (either candy or small toys) for $120. (That's 12 cents each if you're math-impaired. We paid between 5 and 8 cents for the eggs we used this year.) We could place 2,000 eggs for $240, assuming the Chamber would be willing to go that much. We could then donate the grand prize baskets.

We also need to remember to break the school-age grouping a little differently next year: K-1 and 2-4 might work better. The number of older children was very low.
