Pastor Defends Easter Egg Drop
The pastor of a church that organized a massive Easter egg drop is defending the event after some parents reported that it turned into chaos.On Saturday, 60,000 eggs were dropped from a helicopter at the Rochester Fairgrounds while thousands of people waited below.
Some of the eggs included tickets for valuable prizes, such as flat-screen TVs and Nintendo Wiis.
Some people said the scrum on the ground when the eggs started falling was dangerous.
“I think it was like chaos,” said Sarah Gallo, of Stratham, N.H.
“I saw some people kneeing people, and it was, like, really, really dangerous, I thought.”
