Colorful eggs will fall from the sky on Saturday, March 23, 2013 in Decatur in celebration of the Easter holiday. Hosted by Decatur Parks and Recreation, the Easter Eggstravaganza will take place at the Ingalls Harbor Pavilion from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., and along with 5,000 eggs falling from above, there will be activity booths, contests, entertainment, and visits with the Easter Bunny.
Beginning at 10:30 a.m., 5,000
eggs will be dropped from the crane of a fire truck in the grass area of

8-10 at 11:30 a.m., 11-up at noon, and special needs at 12:30 p.m.)
The free event will also offer a
variety of egg-citing activities including inflatables, face painting, sack
races, spoon and egg races, egg toss games, making crafts, a student art show,
a coloring contest, and a special appearance by the Easter Bunny who will be
available for pictures. The Pepsi wagon will be there with hot dogs, chips,
drinks, and popcorn.
