Uncertain weather conditions over the weekend prompted Verbena Baptist Church to postpone the Easter Egg Drop until April 6.

The event was scheduled to drop more than 2,000 plastic, multi-colored Easter eggs from the Chilton County Sheriff’s Department’s helicopter.

However, the threat of rain on Saturday had event organizers rescheduling the egg drop for April 6 at 11 a.m.

Verbena Baptist Church pastor Tony Christensen said the EGGstravaganza at the Grand Ole Pumpkin Patch off Lay Dam Road will make three runs of dropping eggs from the helicopter starting at noon and each run will drop 750 eggs for the children who participate.

Once the eggs are dropped, kids ranging in age from 4-11 will participated in an “Easter egg dash” to pick up the eggs.

The kids will be grouped together by ages 4-5, 6-7, 8-9 and 10-11. There will also be a hunt for 2-to-3-year olds that will be held off to the side.

Christensen said although one of the reasons for hosting the egg hunt is for children to have fun before the Easter holiday, the main purpose is to teach kids the meaning of Easter.

The church will present a biblical message and sing worship songs before the eggs are dropped from the air.

Anyone wanting to participate in the EGGstravaganza should bring an Easter basket to collect the eggs dropped.

Concessions will also be available and sponsored by Care Net.

The event is free and open to the public.
