Northeast Cobb Community Egg Drop; East Cobb Weekend Events

While there is the chance of rain on Saturday, sunny skies are in the forecast for Easter Sunday, and on tap this weekend are many events related to Easter and Passover.

On Saturday is the 10th annual Northeast Cobb Community Egg Drop (photo above from last year), which goes from 11-5 at the football stadium at Sprayberry High School (2525 Sandy Plains Road).

The highlight is the helicopter drop of thousands of eggs and ensuing scramble, but the event includes food, music, DJs, and all kinds of Easter-related activities. Admission is free, but what you spend there will be used for Shop with a Yellow Jacket and Shop with e Longhorn programs at Sprayberry and Kell High School.

Ninja Quest is having an Easter egg hunt Saturday from 10-2 at its facility at 3010 Canton Road, and it’s free and aimed at kids 4 and older. There will be games, prizes, a food truck, an obstacle course and tickets to its Easter Questival that follows.

Help out the Pope Band from 10-5 Saturday with its Mattress and Sheet Sale fundraiser at the school (3001 Hembree Road), with factory-direct prices and full warranties. Financing is available and Cobb County School District employees can get an additional 10 percent off purchases (excluding sheet and pillowcase sets).

Saturday also is National Tea Day in the United Kingdom, and from 4-5 The Basics of Tea will be presented at the Sewell Mill Library and Cultural Center (2051 Lower Roswell Road), with samples of many kinds of tea available.

It’s been Holy Week for Christians and Passover began Friday; we’ve compiled a Passover and Easter Sunday service schedule for East Cobb synagogues and churches, including special breakfasts, Easter egg hunts and other related activities.
