In a tradition dating back to 1848, the White House will once again open it's iron clad gates to families from around the country so that children can participate in the Annual Easter Egg Roll. This year, on April 5th, the Easter Egg Roll will take over the South Lawn with a fitting theme for the competition fueled day: "Ready, Set, Go." The theme will promote health and wellness in accordance with the First Lady's "Let's Move" Initiave, a campaign which seeks to end childhood obesity. And it seems that the egg roll will be eco-friendly in nature. As tradition stands, every child that participates is given a wooden souvenir egg boasting the logo of the event. This year's eggs are all made in the US from Forest Stewardship Council hardwood and packaging has been designed to minimize waste. They'llbe available in pink, purple, green and yellow.
