Each spring, children around the coun-
try anticipate a visit from the Easter bunny.
The Airborne & Special Operations Museum
Foundation takes things a step further, offer-
ing an entire morning with the Easter bunny to
include activities and more. Breakfast with the
Easter Bunny and Easter Egg Scramble is set for
Saturday, March 31, at 7:30 a.m. in the lobby of
the ASOM.
"This is a fundraiser to raise money for the
museum, and it is a great way to get the kids
involved in this family event," said Jim Ryder,
director of public relations and marketing. "We
also have the Easter Egg Scramble, which typi-
cally draws up to 2,000 people." Ryder added
that for the egg scramble they put out thousands
of eggs. Inside each egg is a toy or a piece of
candy. The kids run out and pick up as many
eggs as they can.
Breakfast will consist of sausage, pancakes
and drinks. "The money we raise is used for the
upkeep and maintenance of the museum as well
as modifying any new exhibits we might have,"
said Ryder.
The Easter Egg Scramble is broken down
into age groups to keep things fair for younger
participants. Children 2 and under hunt at 9:30
a.m. and 10:20 a.m.; 3-year-olds at 9:40 a.m.
and 10:30 a.m.; 4- and 5-year-olds at 9:50 a.m.
and 10:40 a.m., 6- and 7-year-olds at 10 a.m. and
10:50 a.m.; and 8- to 10-year-olds at 10:10 a.m.
and 11 a.m.
"We look forward to this event and invite ev-
eryone to come out and enjoy breakfast and the
egg scramble," said Ryder.
ASOM opened in downtown Fayetteville
in 2000. It tells the story of the airborne and
special operations soldiers from 1940 to the
present. It houses a permanent display that is
designed as a self-guided tour on the main f loor
and hosts exhibits throughout the year in its
temporary gallery.
Ticket cost for breakfast with the Easter
Bunny is $10 for adults, $5 for children 3-5 and
free with a paying adult for children 2 and un-
der. The Easter Egg Scramble is free. The Easter
