Description: Article content NEW YORK Easter is a special holiday to Nora Heddendorf, 6 years old. It's a day that she is a fan of dressing up in fancy shoes and fancy dresses and go on a hunt with her family and friends to find colorful eggs. The coronavirus outbreak forced her to adjust this year. Games 'll finish her Easter outfit by adding a white paper mask, disposable gloves in blue and disinfectant wipes. After learning that the annual egg hunt in her New Jersey town might be cancelled, she was inspired to think of an "rock hunt." The content of the article Nora's hunt not only substitutes brightly painted stones for eggs, which are not in stock at certain stores, but also lets her neighbors do their hunting during their walks with friends. "I was devastated that the program was going to be cancelled because of the virus," the kindergartener said to Reuters in a telephone interview. "I would like to make people happy." From the White House to small town parks The pandemic has forced the removal of traditional Easter egg hunts and "rolls" across the United States, closed churches and scotched plans to have Easter meals with extended families. However, many Americans are still looking for ways to have holiday fun, from an Oregon candymaker making chocolate bunnies that wear masks to a Texas church organising an egg hunt that is virtual using the video game Minecraft. Content of the article Nora and her mother began organizing their hunt in Medford Lakes a few weeks ago. She assembled dozens of DIY kits, each containing five rocks as well as four paint colors and instructions, all wrapped in a plastic bag. She used disposable gloves and sprayed the contents with disinfectant. The kits were then placed outside her house to be picked up by anyone who wants to take part. The young artist, Nora's rocks, asked her friends to return the adorned rocks she had left to her to hide. "Thank you for helping Nora's Rocks bring our community closer but also separating us," she wrote in the instruction letter she included with the kits. Her mother, Samantha Heddendorf, president of an environmental cleanup business that has been cleaning up structures that have been affected by the coronavirus epidemic, said the hunt will start on Good Friday and continue through Easter Sunday, with new batch of painted rocks to be found each day. Content of the article The aim of this project is to place 500 stones "eggs" in every corner of the 1 mile (2.6 km) town. "When people are doing their social distancing walks they can look for rocks or Easter Eggs. They could have something to find and then take them home and, at the very least, an attitude to celebrate Easter with," Samantha Heddendorf said. In Central Point, Oregon, chocolatier Jeff Shepherd had a brainstorm to save his Lillie Belle Farms from shutdown in the wake of the coronavirus. He told his Facebook friends that he was going to create "Covid Bunnies" which are milk and dark chocolate confections with blue masks on them and white chocolate ones without blue masks for faces. It was an enormous success. Kirn was able to hire back seven of his full-time workers, sold 5,000 bunnies and is now scrambling to fill back orders. Article content Safe distancing to stop the spread of viruses is what convinced the Tate Springs Baptist Church in Arlington, Texas, to make the switch to digital for its Easter Egg hunt, using Minecraft but removing potentially frightening game elements such as monsters. Reverend Curtis James stated, "Our main goal in life is to spread the gospel. But we want the children to be able to enjoy Easter." Nora was delighted to discover that her idea was embraced by many. Kirn of the town stopped by to check out the kits and the Lions Club invited her for lunch "when the entire thing is done." Her most loved "thanks" was gift-wrapped roll of toilet paper. This was among the most popular items that people panic-shopped during the pandemic. Nora said, "My mom smiled when toilet paper came in."
