What is the White House Easter Egg Roll?<\/span><\/strong> (answer from recreation.gov)<\/p>\n

“The White House Easter Egg Roll is a tradition that dates to 1878. \t\tOriginally, young children in Washington, D.C. would flock to Capitol Hill every Monday after Easter for \t\tegg rolling and a day of activities. Members of Congress grew tired of the growing crowds and passed an \t\tAct of Congress which prohibited egg rolling on the Capitol grounds. The event was moved to the White House \t\tin 1878 after President Hayes was approached by young children to use his backyard to roll eggs. Nearly \t\tevery Easter since, the White House has invited young children to roll eggs on the White House lawn.<\/p>\n

Today, the Easter Egg Roll has grown from a few local children rolling eggs on the White House Lawn to \t\tbecome the largest event held at the White House, filled with live entertainment, sports \t\tand interactive cooking demos. And, of course, the traditional rolling of the Easter eggs.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
