Krouse to attend White House event

A North Manchester resident was among those in attendance Monday, April 10, at the annual White House Easter Egg Roll at the White House.

Sam Krouse, co-CEO of MPS Egg Farms, will serve as an on-site volunteer at the event. He is one of the representatives of the American Egg Board who will present First Lady Jill

Biden the 2023 First Lady’s Commemorative Egg.

“It’s a lot of celebration,” Krouse told INside Indiana Business. “We’ll present the First Lady with her egg, which celebrates education. That is something, obviously, that is very near and dear to Dr. Biden’s heart.

“We’ll be helping her celebrate that with egg education on the commemorative egg itself and with activities all over the White House lawn, so it’s going to be really fun from that perspective.”

The event also will celebrate “egg farmers giving back,” Krouse continued.

Egg farmers across the United States have donated more than 5.5 million eggs to food banks and other agencies across the nation.

“We know it’s been a tough time for a lot of people, so it’s our way to give back a little bit,” he said.

The event is a chance to education many about the importance of eggs and what makes eggs so great, Krouse noted.

An estimated 30,000 people will be attending the event, which dates back to the 1870s.
