What they’re saying

“'Every year, we have an easter egg hunt for the blind children, and if you are sighted, they will blindfold you, and you have to find the beeping eggs. They have plastic eggs that have beepers in them, so we have to listen and then go find the eggs.'”

— Sandy England, Event Organizer
