Just ask Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny can't do it all alone.
Over the past few years the Colona Easter egg hunt has grown from something small to an event that involves tens of thousands of eggs for a community of just 100 people.
And one woman, Janna Miller, is the driving force. She wants to make sure every child who goes to the egg hunt leaves with a prize.
"It's a community effort, a team effort," says Miller.
And it's built one hand-assembled egg at a time.
"We started (filling the plastic eggs) this year on Christmas rather than New Years."
How many eggs? Would you believe 30,000?
"We watch football and fill Easter eggs," she says.
But today we have a surprise for Janna before she can fill another egg with surprises for Colona children.
"Hey!," says Ignazia Bull as she surprised Janna in a Colona School classroom.
"You do so many things for Colona and the students here and the community, on behalf of Ascentra Credit Union and News 8, we want to give you 300-dollars for you to Pay It Forward."
We know of people who help community groups, but few who help a whole community.
"She does a lot of behind the scenes work that a lot of people don't realize," says Ignazia.
Besides the Colona Easter egg hunt, Janna also organizes the annual Christmastime "Giving Tree", leads the regular food and clothing drives, coaches volleyball, basketball, and track; teaches special education and she's trying to put together this year's Variety Show at school.
"She loves this community," says Ignazia.
"She loves the kids here. And she just does everything she can to help them."
But there's more:
"If you teach children to think of others, to think of the big picture before they think of themselves, that's what we want citizens to be," says Janna.
And pardon the pun: Janna is not putting all her eggs in one basket.
She says helping all of Colona's children, not just her own, makes the world a better place.
"That's what we try to teach our children: one person can make a difference but when we're all together we can make an even bigger difference."
"She does whatever she can," says Ignazia.
For whoever she can.
"We're Colona," she says.
"Our family is Colona, and that means something.
"This is my home, these are my people. This is where my heart is."
The annual Colona Community Easter Egg hunt starts Saturday, April 4 at Ty Massey Park.
The hunt is divided into different age groups and an event for Special Needs children.
