Late into the Saturday night before Easter, a team of our artists descended upon the streets of Boston to create a sort of "virtual" Easter Egg hunt.  Instead of actual eggs, we used our favorite tool - colorful chalk - to draw the pastel ovoids on the sidewalk...

The next morning, and all throughout the day, Boston SOSers were invited to roam the streets with a keen eye on the lookout for the eggs (some of which were quite cleverly hidden) and keep track of the unique numbers next to each one.

After having "collected" as many eggs as possible, participants with an SOS account were then able to contact us with the corresponding three-digit numbers and earn points based on how many were found.

The eggs were hidden in two specific Boston locations: along the beautiful Rose Kennedy Greenway, and outside Fenway Park (Easter just happened to fall on opening day for the Red Sox, and we just had to pay tribute!).

Some of the eggs at Fenway:

Some eggs were three dimensional!

This egg got impaled by a street post.

Some of the eggs along the Greenway:

This egg don't run...unless someone turns the fountain on!

Not all the eggs were on the sidewalk. Can you find the egg in this photo?

Along the Greenway.  Sometimes the surface inspires design.

We were afraid this robot-looking thing might be some sort of fountain, too.  Water and chalk don't mix..and we got lucky.

All in all, we had a great time, enjoyed beautiful weather, and got a chance to share some colorful happiness with participants and passersby alike. 

In the meantime, we're whipping up some other fun events for the summer...warm weather begets urban creativity!  Stay tuned...
