Cascaróns Forbidden at El Paso Zoo Easter Weekend
If you plan to hop on over to the El Paso Zoo Easter weekend, bring a hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen (highs Saturday and Sunday will be in the mid to upper 80s), but leave the confetti eggs at home.
As fun as unleashing multi-colored mayhem on someone’s head is, zoo officials request you leave the annual Easter cascarón warfare for another time and another place.
“Confetti eggs (cascarones) are not allowed on zoo grounds,” reads a post on the zoo’s Facebook. No reason as to why they are forbidden was given, but I suspect it’s because the confetti, and in some cases flour, that the eggshells are filled with is super-messy and time consuming to clean up.
