A helicopter dropped eggs at Memorial Park in Lexington on Saturday morning. Hundreds of people gathered in the park to watch a helicopter fly high in circles around the park before dropping two loads of “eggs” onto the field at the park. Inside the eggs that some of the children were able to gather in the rush were candy, trinkets, tickets for prizes and cash. The tickets were redeemed at the prize table in a pavilion at the park. The Easter bunny was there, too. Children stood with the holiday symbol to have their pictures made. After the egg drop, there was an assortment of games the kids could play during the threehour event.
