Viewfinder: Charge! Hundreds Storm Lutheran North Field for Egg Drop

The sky over rained eggs Saturday for LakePointe Church's first in Macomb Township.

Carrying Easter baskets of every shape, size and color, thousands of children and their parents lined the football field to await the helicopter that would shower hundreds of eggs onto the already egg-laden field.

Eyes were glued to the sky as the helicopter emptied bags brimming with eggs onto the field below. Once the all-clear was given, the first wave of children was sent charging onto the field to collect their 10 eggs each.

Although the event started with 20,000 eggs, not a single shell could be found on the field by the end.
