White House Easter egg roll April 5

WASHINGTON, Feb. 16 (UPI) -- The Easter bunny will hop onto the White House lawn April 5 for the Easter Egg Roll, stressing health and wellness among Americans, the White House said.

The event the day after Easter Sunday will feature live music, sports courts, cooking stations, storytelling and Easter egg rolling, all of which will encourage children to lead healthy, active lives and follow first lady Michelle Obama's "Let's Move!" campaign to combat childhood obesity, the White House said Tuesday in a release.

The annual egg roll will be on the South Lawn and is for children up to age 12 and their families.

White House Easter Egg Roll tickets will be distributed through an online lottery system, administration officials said. The lottery will open for entries Feb. 25 and close Feb. 28. Ticketing information may be found at www.whitehouse.gov/eastereggroll.
