Egg-citing Story

Musings from Dennis #71: Sometimes overpreparing for an event does not work out. It was the Easter weekend at Sentosa Singapore and we were tasked to promote the new Flower Terrace attraction, a series of landscaped gardens planted on terraces along a hillock near the ferry terminal. So my colleague and I decided to organize the traditional Easter Egg hunt for members of the public but replacing the eggs with ping pong balls. Thinking it would be better to prepare early we hid hundreds of balls along and among the foliage along the terrace the Saturday evening before the hunt. The very next morning, Easter Sunday we came all hyped up and ready to go but got the shock of our lives – the enthusiastic and diligent cleaners removed most of the balls! Thankfully we still had an hour to go and managed to hide a few more balls but never to the level of impact we wanted… oh the perils of event management!
