It's that time of year again - FFA is hosting our 2nd Annual Egg My Yard fundraiser this Easter!
Here's how it works: You order an "egging" from FFA. We visit on the night of Saturday, April 16th to hide your Easter eggs. Wake up on Easter morning to 24 (or more) hidden candy (no chocolate - we all know how unpredictable Easter weather is in Georgia!) and prize filled Easter Eggs in a designated location around your house. This is perfect if you have young children, grandchildren, or neighbors. You can even gift an "egging" (as long as you provide us the contact info for the house you wish for us to "egg") to a neighbor or friend as long as they reside within the Calhoun City Limits.
Cost: $20 per 24 eggs, $40 for 48 eggs, $60 for 72 eggs.
When: We will "egg" the yard Saturday, April 16th after 8:30 p.m.
Payment: Once you order is received, you'll get an invoice and instructions for paying online. Orders & payment due by April 1, 2022.
