This Saturday, Church of the Highlands will hold a helicopter Easter egg drop on their campus at 6621 Hunter Road in Harrison. This is a free event for the greater Chattanooga community and will take place rain or shine.
From 4–6 p.m., Church of the Highlands will have inflatables, carnival games, horse rides, food trucks, and tons of candy.
At 5:15 p.m., the actual helicopter Easter egg drop will take place. Officials said, "A helicopter Easter egg drop is the most exciting version of the traditional Easter egg hunt you can find.
Tens of thousands of plastic eggs, filled with candy, will be dropped from a helicopter onto a grass field. After the helicopter has safely left the area, kids will then be allowed onto the field to collect eggs. For safety reasons, kids are divided up into age groups."
To control crowds and provide a safe and fun experience for every child, only those who register online at
TheHighlands.cc/Easter will be permitted to attend. Participants are asked to arrive by 4:45 p.m.
After Church of the Highlands’ 6 p.m. Saturday night worship service, they will be giving away prizes. Everyone who registers for and attends the egg drop will be entered in the drawing. People must be present to win. Here's what is being given away:
•
A free pass to Highpoint Rock Climbing and Fitness for a family of 4;
•
A free pass to The Jump Park for a family of 5; and
•
Gift Cards to various restaurants.
Officials said, "Church of the Highlands has tripled in size in the last couple of years, and is reaching many people who are far from God. The church will offer three Easter worship services this weekend: Saturday, 6 p.m. and Sunday at, 9:15 and 10:45 a.m. For more information, visit
