On Saturday, April 9, more than 3,000 children will gather in Greeley, Colo., at The Great Outdoors RV.
The dealership gearing up for an Easter event to remember, as it is planning the largest helicopter egg drop in Colorado history, courtesy of Macdonald Heli Tours. The NOCO Egg Drop will include more than 60,000 eggs hunted in one location – a Colorado record.
“We love serving families at TGORV and Easter presents a great opportunity to connect with local families that have helped shape and build who we are,” said Matt Brown, general manager of TGORV. “The last few years have been challenging for so many and we are excited to see kids getting to be kids on this day. My team has been hard at work on planning a truly memorable event that the kids of our community will talk about for many years to come. We are grateful for the support of every sponsor and wish everyone a blessed Easter.”
The only bad news is: If you want to go, you’ll have to wait until the event comes back around in 2023. Tickets for this year’s event are sold out.
“Selling out within a week floored us,” said Tara Brossman, director of marketing at The Great Outdoors. “’We’re so excited to be able to create something so many families can enjoy together, and we’re so thankful for the incredible people that have been such an instrumental part in helping us not only bring an idea that started before we ever moved to our new location to life, but to double the number of eggs we originally thought we were going to be able to have. The Easter Bunny is certainly coming to Greeley this year.”
Prizes included in specialty giveaways will include Easter baskets, helicopter rides, gift cards, and specialty eggs courtesy of TGORV and sponsors Macdonald Heli Tours, Chick-Fil-A, Loveland Barricade, Townsquare Media NOCO, the Colorado Eagles, Roche Constructors, Inc., the Greeley Stampede, Scheels, and Picasso and Wine.
The Great Outdoors RV was launched in 2005 in Evans, Colo., and has moved since to Greeley.
