This year, PCC holds its second annual Big Ol' Egg Drop. There are several purposes for the event. We want it to be a fun, safe experience for the whole family. With Chick-fil-A food, jumphouses, and the egg drop, this event is obviously going to be a blast for the kids.
There's also an even greater purpose. Last year, this event benefited victims from the devastating tornadoes that struck Sumner County in February of '08. This year, especially as many families have been affected by the recent economic crisis, PCC has decided to partner with Second Harvest Food Bank. All donations (non-perishable foods and monetary donations) will go directly to feed hungry families. As you might guess, the need for food increases as unemployment rises. One recent article in The Tennessean commented that Second Harvest Food Bank is experiencing their "most difficult and challenging period in more than two decades."

So this Big Ol' Egg Drop is more than just a fun-filled community event. It's an attempt to bring the community together for a greater purpose: to help families who are in need. We invite anybody and everybody to participate. Go to http://www.bigeggdrop.com/ for more info. Look forward to seeing you there!!
To give you a little glimpse of what The Big Ol' Egg Drop looks like, here are a few pics from last year:
