Monday Memories: Did any Easter eggs cross the finish line intact in 1999?

The egg-rolling competition at the Rutherford B. Hayes Presidential Center in Fremont in 1999 started out orderly at first.  Youngsters toed the white line, egg and spoon at the ready. Once the whistle blew, it turned into a rout. Children raced to roll their eggs to the finish line, swinging their spoons like mini-golf clubs, gouging the sod and mashing more than a few eggs. It could have been a modern reenactment of the 1876 scene at the U. S. Capitol, which damaged the lawn, prompting Congress to forbid the event.
