The Rock Ranch will hold its annual Easter Eggstravaganza  on March 24 in The Rock, Ga.

More than 60,000 plastic eggs filled with prizes will be hidden around the ranch.

Some eggs will contain candy. Others - called golden eggs - will contain notes that can be redeemed for larger prizes.

Last year, more than 4,000 people attended the event.
