Go Paint! in Evergreen is displaying egg-cellently decorated eggs just in time for Easter.

e 15th annual Art of the Egg got a makeover this year by Go Paint! owners Aysha and Julie Diril. is year’s decorating contest was strictly for amateurs, and 27 people from age 3 to adult answered the call. e eggs are judged in three divisions: 0-8 years old, 9-13 years old and 14 and older. First place in each division will get $25, second place $20 and third place $15. e public can still vote through March 31. Some of the proceeds from Art of the Egg will go to Resilience1220, which provides free counseling to people 12 to 20 years old because Diril said it was important to give back to the community. e decorators showed their wide-ranging artistic talent, portraying everything from Pokemon and Minions to landscapes and animals on their eggs.

“We wanted to keep the contest fun for kids,” Aysha Diril said, noting that everyone will be able to take their eggs home before Easter.

“We had so many incredible entries,” Diril said. “It’s been fun and a good seasonal holiday activity.”
