Common Questions
Is the Egg Drop a free event?
Yes! The Egg Drop is a FREE event. There is no price for admission or participation. The only reason you would need to bring money is to purchase a treat from the Kona Ice truck.
How many drops will there be?
There are FOUR drop times during this event - 11:30 am // 12:00 pm // 12:30 pm // 1:00 pm - each will be announced via loudspeaker.
How many drops can I be a part of?
All attendees will be able participate in ONE of four egg drop times. You will receive a colored wrist band with your specific egg drop time printed on it.
What's the difference between an "Event Start Time" and an "Egg Drop Time"?
The Egg Drop is a BIG event that includes a story time (the Easter story), games, crafts, inflatables, and much more in addition to our multiple egg drops. Your "Event Start Time" is when you arrive to confirm your registration so that there is enough time for you to enjoy everything this event has to offer before your official "Egg Drop Time." For example, if you register for a 10:20 am "Event Start Time," your "Egg Drop Time" would not be until 11:30 am, giving you ample time to experience the Egg Drop in its entirety.
Can I bring my own bags/buckets to collect eggs?
We will provide all participants with a bag to collect eggs the day of the event. Please leave your personal bags and buckets at home. This will ensure that the event is fair and fun for everyone.
Is food provided during the Egg Drop?
Light concessions will be provided during the Egg Drop at no cost to you (while supplies last). However, you may want to pack a bag lunch to bring along. Kona Ice will also be on-site for purchase.
Where do I park?
Parking is available on-site in our northern parking lots between Jefferson Rd and Westridge Rd (see "Event Parking Info" map above). If all parking spots on-site are full, overflow parking will be available at neighboring churches. Look for our Welcome Team. They will help you find the best and most available parking spots.
