Owasso Egg Drop - Saturday

Saturday Lifepoint hosted the Owasso Egg Drop. It was amazing. Here are some thoughts:

• When planning the event, we didn't know exactly how many to anticipate so we created a website to allow people to preregister online.
• Without us submitting info, the Tulsa World, Owasso Reporter, and Tulsaloop.com gave us some free publicity. By the weekend, buzz was everywhere.
• Tulsa Helicopter helped us drop the eggs. Our pilot had a family emergency the day before but found another pilot to fill in...Whew - that was close.
• Chic-Fil-A donated some free ice cream coupons, little cows with parachutes, and brought out the Eat More Chicken Cow...Huge hit with the kids!!
• The Lanes at Coffee Creek donated a ton of free bowling passes and Putt and Jump donated some coupons as well.
• Many were concerned the eggs would crack open...they didn't.
  
• We had over 500 kids preregistered. The question was, "How many would register at the event?" Answer: A LOT!! We had another 500+ come to register. So, there were over 1,000 kids gathering eggs (that we know about). I think many just came in and gathered at their field.
• Our best estimate is that there were at least 2000+ at the event.
• We had the BEST volunteers. Everyone was flexible and jumped in to help. I was so proud of our church.
• We gave out bags that could be used for gathering eggs. They had some information and a brochure that presented the gospel.
  
• Lots of great conversations with families about salvation and attending LIfepoint.
  
• I've received multiple emails thanking us for putting on the drop.
• Here are some more pictures from the day.

We are already planning a BIGGER and BETTER egg drop next year - more activities, more fun, and MANY MORE EGGS!!! We hope you'll plan to be there!!
