Tennessee: Get Up & Go! Founder, Madison Hardy, had the idea for a healthier Easter Egg Hunt when reminiscing on her childhood days about how the big prize was often a large chocolate-filled Easter bunny. In a nation where one-third of children are overweight or obese, Madison sought to promote the idea that holiday activities don't have to revolve around mounds of candy.
With that in mind, she filled over 50 plastic eggs with non-edible treats such as erasers, hair clips, play coins, silly putty, bubbles, stickers, and so much more.
The children were all so excited to discover what treasures were hidden within each egg, and the parents were thrilled with the fact that the eggs were not filled with candy and that it was something their children could enjoy for an extended period of time. Madison & Tennessee: Get Up & Go! hope to make this an annual event.
