On Saturday, April 9, over 3,000 children will gather in Greeley, Colorado at the award-winning dealership The Great Outdoors RV for an Easter event to remember as thousands of eggs drop from a helicopter courtesy of Macdonald Heli Tours. The NOCO Egg Drop will include over 60,000 eggs hunted in one location – a Colorado record.

“We love serving families at TGORV and Easter presents a great opportunity to connect with local families that have helped shape and build who we are,” says Matt Brown, General Manager of TGORV. “The last few years have been challenging for so many and we are excited to see kids getting to be kids on this day. My team has been hard at work on planning a truly memorable event that the kids of our community will talk about for many years to come. We are grateful for the support of every sponsor and wish everyone a blessed Easter.”

Tara Brossman, Director of Marketing at The Great Outdoors, speaks of the shocking response to the event: “Selling out within a week floored us. We’re so excited to be able to create something so many families can enjoy together, and we’re so thankful for the incredible people that have been such an instrumental part in helping us not only bring an idea that started before we ever moved to our new location to life, but to double the number of eggs we originally thought we were going to be able to have. The Easter Bunny is certainly coming to Greeley this year.”

Prizes included in specialty giveaways will include Easter baskets, helicopter rides, gift cards, and specialty eggs courtesy of TGORV and sponsors Macdonald Heli Tours, Chick-Fil-A, Loveland Barricade, Townsquare Media NOCO, the Colorado Eagles, Roche Constructors, Inc., the Greeley Stampede, Scheels, and Picasso and Wine.

The Great Outdoors RV is offering free parking and admission for all attendees, April 9, from 9AM-3PM. Tickets must be present at time of check-in at the event.

updated: Apr 3, 2019

BELLEVUE, Wash., April 3, 2019 (Newswire.com)
–
This month, PartySticks, one of the top party supply sellers on Amazon, announced the launch of their new 24-pack Glow in the Dark Easter Egg Toys and 100-piece Bulk Easter Toys Assortment Party Pack. These Easter-themed novelties put a new twist on Easter egg hunts and Easter basket stuffers, inspiring indoor and outdoor family fun.

With food allergies and concerns over sugary treats, these non-candy party favors make it easy for parents and grandparents to delight and entertain without dietary worries.

Host an Easter Glow Party with these Easter party supplies that break away from the expected. Glow-in-the-dark plastic eggs, with mini glow sticks included, open up the possibilities for Easter games and decorations. Turn out the lights and let Glow Eggs light the way. Stage an Easter egg hunt at night and watch all the little egg hunters race to the neon eggs. There’s even enough room to fill the eggs with treats or toys. The Glowing Easter Eggs come with 72 mini glow sticks, making them reusable for future Easter egg hunts, party favors, Easter basket stuffers and piñata fillers. These colorful and fun Glow Stick Eggs are available on Amazon while supplies last.

The PartySticks Easter Bulk Party Supplies pack offers an assortment of toys that will keep kids entertained for hours. Fill Easter baskets, eggs, goody bags, classroom treasure boxes or piñatas with tons of Easter toys; the 100-piece pack of party favors includes whistles, plastic eggs, wind-up racers, rings, maze and pinball games, ink stamps and spring toys suitable for girls and boys. Make Easter scavenger hunts more rewarding with prizes that inspire active play. The 100-piece Easter Party Pack is available on Amazon.

For those on the hunt for the wow factor in their kids’ Easter baskets, the gold Scoot hands-free drone from USA Toyz is the perfect-sized gift for the basket centerpiece. This motion-sensor drone is a flying orb that can be “passed” back and forth, touch-free, with the wave of a hand. It’s easy to play with in a group, keeping kids and adults active and entertained on a fun-filled spring holiday.

The indoor Scoot Mini Drone is available on Amazon in three colors: gold, red and blue – a perfect palette for the season. The included USB charger recharges the gravity-defying hover ball quickly to keep the party games going all day long. This is one of 2019’s top toys for boys and girls, and a must-have in the ultimate Easter basket.
