LYNDHURST, Ohio-- Eggshelland has been a family tradition for more than 55 years.

The long-standing Easter event was almost canceled after the death of its creator, but now it’s back.

"We went there every Easter. It wasn't Easter without Eggshelland," said Janelle Puntel of Lyndhurst.

It may not be in the front yard of the Manolio home anymore, but the Northeast Ohio tradition is back and Lyndhurst residents are really excited.

"Oh we are excited that it's back. It's her first Easter so we are excited that we get to share it with her. We grew up going there all the time so it's fun," Puntel said.

Last year, the Manolio family announced the tradition would be ending after its creator Ron Manolio passed away but the Euclid Beach Boys, a local preservation group, stepped in and took over the time-honored Lyndhurst tradition.

"We just wanted to see this tradition carried on. We did contact the Manolio family and we sat down and talked with them and we were able to come to an agreement on what we can do here," said Joe Tomaro, one of the Euclid Beach Boys.

Thursday afternoon, the Euclid Beach Boys were on the tennis courts at the Lyndhurst Community Center placing some of the original colorful egg displays on the court.

One by one they would place the plastic eggs on the board which will eventually spell out Eggshelland.

"Just like the Manolio family, this was a labor of love to them; for us, to preserve these different things to be in Cleveland and around here that could be gone forever, it's a labor of love for us to keep this stuff."

Eggshelland will be open to visitors beginning Saturday, April 12 on the tennis courts next to the Lyndhurst Community Center at 1341 Parkview Drive.
