Sugar Hill’s yearly Easter Egg Fight was held Easter Sunday, April 20. Folks from surrounding counties arrived at dawn with colored eggs by the case, crate and basket loads. In this egg fighting event, the intention is not to break the shell on a human opponent. Instead, the eggs are tapped tip-to-tip and end to end. The tapping continues until one egg finally cracks under pressure. No historian, or for that matter anyone else, has kept record of the first egg fight, but for more than a century, hundreds of people have gathered in Sugar Hill to see who boiled the toughest batch of eggs.
