We will place a raw egg in your creation and the firefighters will drop if from the raised ladder truck (so be sure to bring whatever is needed to close your creation that evening)! Put your thinking caps on and protect your egg at all costs! All adults and kids are welcome to participate! If you make it through the first round, you move on to the second round and we continue until only one egg is left not broken! The winner will receive a Kindle Fire!
