The White House has announced a list of activities for Monday's Easter Egg Roll on the South Lawn. The annual event will include a star-studded group of performers to entertain the 30 thousand people coming from across the country to attend.
This year's theme is "Ready, Set, Go!" modeled after First Lady Michelle Obama's national campaign to combat childhood obesity. Activities will include sports, yoga, dance, arts and crafts, and a garden and farmer's market, followed by the traditional Easter egg hunt and roll.
The Obama's will host a slew of celebrities, including the cast of the Fox TV show "Glee" and Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling. Other stars include actress Reese Witherspoon, Olympic champion Apolo Ohno, Sesame Street's Elmo, teen pop singer Justin Bieber, and members of the Washington Redskins.
Event organizers took steps to make this year's egg roll the greenest in history. Goody bags have been crafted from recycled plastic, the souvenir egg is constructed of U.S. hardwood, and the garden station features organically grown fruits and vegetables.
