Coronavirus Causes Americans to find Easter Fun at least 6 Feet Apart

Article content NEW YORK – Easter is a special holiday for Nora Heddendorf, 6 years old. It's a day she loves to get dolled up in a pretty dress and shiny shoes and enjoy time with family and friends searching for eggs that are brightly colored.


This year, the coronavirus pandemic has forced her to adapt. minecraft servers are my thing She will complete her Easter outfit by adding a white mask and disposable gloves in blue and disinfectant wipes. And when she heard that her New Jersey town's annual egg hunt may be canceled and she came up with the idea of a "rock hunt."


The hunt of Nora's article not only substitutes brightly painted stones for eggs which are scarce at certain stores, but also lets her neighbors do their hunting during their social-distancing walks.

The pandemic has affected everyone from the White House to small towns parks. It also has forced the suspension of traditional Easter egg hunts across the United States. Closed churches and plans for scotched Easter dinners with extended families have been cancelled.


But many Americans are still finding ways to have holiday fun such as an Oregon candy maker creating chocolate bunnies that wear masks to a Texas church organising an egg hunt that is virtual with the game Minecraft.


Article content A few weeks ago, Nora and her mother began planning her hunt in their town of Medford Lakes. She put together a number of DIY kits, each containing five rocks and four paint colors, and instructions, and all wrapped in plastic bags. She used disposable gloves and sprayed all the contents with disinfectant.


The kits were then placed outside her house to be picked up by anyone who wants to participate. The young artist, Nora's rocks, requested her friends return the decorated rocks she had left to her to keep for herself.


"Thank you for helping Nora's Rocks bring our community closer but also separating us," she wrote in the instruction note she included with the kits.

"When people are taking their social distancing walks they could look for rocks, or what are known as Easter Eggs. They could have something to look for and then grab them and at least have a smile to share the joy of Easter with," Samantha Heddendorf said.


Central Point chocolatier Jeff Shepherd has come up with a solution to keep his Lillie Belle Farms in Oregon from being shut down by the coronavirus. He told his Facebook followers that he was going to create "Covid Bunnies" which are dark and milk chocolate with white masks on them and white chocolate ones with blue masks for faces.


It was a roaring success. Shepherd was able to bring back the full-time staff of seven that he laid off, has sold 5,000 bunnies, and is in a frenzy with back orders, now limiting purchases to six per customer.


Article content Secure distancing to prevent the spread of viruses is what convinced the Tate Springs Baptist Church in Arlington, Texas, to move to digital for its Easter Egg hunt, using Minecraft but disabling potentially scary game elements such as monsters.


Reverend Curtis James stated, "Our main goal in life is to spread the gospel. We also want children to be able to enjoy Easter."


In New Jersey, Nora was excited that her idea was enthusiastically welcomed by a wide range of people, including the town's mayor who stopped by to see her fill the kits and the local Lions Club inviting her for lunch "when the whole thing is over."


Her most cherished "thanks" was gift-wrapped roll of toilet paper. This was among the most popular items that people shopped for in the panic of the pandemic.


"My mom smiled when the paper for the toilet arrived," Nora said. (Reporting by Barbara Goldberg, New York; Additional reporting by Rich McKay, Atlanta; Editing done by Rosalba Obrien
