A record-breaking 74,000 eggs will be donated to the event this year and used for the iconic Egg Roll, decorating, hunting and snacking. Families in attendance will also enjoy EggPops, hard-boiled eggs on a stick that have become a new South Lawn tradition. Kids and their parents will also have an opportunity to visit the AEB\u2019s interactive Hen to Home exhibit to learn about an egg\u2019s journey from the farm to the plate, as well as take photos with the popular Eggy mascots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe White House Easter Egg Roll would not be the same without eggs, and thanks to the generosity of America\u2019s egg farmers, the White House will be brimming with them. Our nation\u2019s egg farmers and their incredible product are an annual fixture on the South Lawn of the White House for this time-honored and uniquely American holiday tradition,\u201d said U.S. Deputy Secretary of Agriculture Stephen Censky.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
AEB President and CEO Anne L. Alonzo noted that for more than 40 years, the American Egg Board, on behalf of America\u2019s egg farmers, has proudly supported this time-honored tradition dating back to 1878. \u201cEaster is a particularly popular time for eggs in the U.S., with 2.9 billion eggs sold last year during this holiday season. And it is our honor and privilege to provide the incredible eggs so many families and service members will enjoy rolling, decorating and eating on the South Lawn,\u201d said Alonzo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
