April 11, 2012 An e 3 . The Kings Mountain Herald | www.kmherald.net GROVER - At the 11th hour on Mon- day, April 9, on the south lawn of the White House in Washington, D.C., thousands gathered to relive a tradition 134 years in the making. At the same time on the front lawn of a white house in Grover, a crowd of nearly 100 gathered for the same tradition - to roll Easter eggs and to find Easter eggs, a couple loaded with a crisp hundred dollar bill. The Annual Easter Egg Roll at the Presi- dential Culinary Museum and Inn of the Patriots at 301 Cleveland Ave. continues to grow. Monday's excited crowd far outnum- bered the museum's first, three years ago. The young event, which is synchronized annually with the White House Roll, has drawn visitors from several states. On Monday, a family had traveled from Con- cord to attend. . The crowd gathered around the house's front steps as Innkeeper Marti Mongiello snapped out two crisp one hundred dollar ¢ ” p pr Children roll plastic Easter eggs with spoons to the finish line guarded by the Easter Bunny. ; TET : | Photos by EMILY WEAVER | pw Eu Page 1B sg roll, White House style bills, gifts from First National Bank. He tucked one inside a green egg and one in- side a purple egg, before adding them to a basket of other colored plastic eggs. The company raced to the backyard gate, waiting and watching as Mongiello hid several eggs around the yard. A purple one here. A green one there. A few more in a Revolutionary War era tent. The Easter Bunny opened the gate and the hunters were off, snatching up eggs along the way. In addition to the $100 eggs, Mongiello said that they also had special themed eggs for racing, Jesus and the Bible, filled with quotes from the Bible and small crosses. Commemorative White House wooden eggs were also hidden throughout the yard. Prizes were also given in a sidewalk chalk art contest and in contests of the Easter Egg Roll. Coinciding with the First Lady Michelle Obama's "Let's Move" ini- tiative, kids were invited to run and play. ivan JAN Rodney Unnach, right, was the grand champion winner of the Easter Egg Roll.
