When it started raining, it did not look good for the 2008 Easter Egg Hunt at The Rock Church (Lynnwood, WA). Fortunately, the children’s ministry director had the innovative idea to move the Easter egg hunt indoors and bury them underneath thousands of packing peanuts. For an extra measure of fun, they added a blower.

Lead Pastor Scott Harris offers this warning to churches who want to host their own packing peanut Easter egg hunts - “The packing peanuts go everywhere, including the HVAC system!” Often the best ideas require more effort.
