Wayne county parks annual Marshmallow Drop

[riviera]

Who's going/taking kids to the marshmallow drop? I must admit I'd never heard of it before stumbling across it on the Wayne county official website.

Why is it that you can't eat the marshmallows if you so choose?

Also if someone can post pics it would be interesting.

I might take my kid this year. He mentioned he wanted to go. We've been to the one at Elizabeth Park a few times. I think we might go to Nankin Mills this year just for a change. The Marshmallow Drop has been going on for years, at least 20 that I can remember. You don't want to eat the marshmallows primarily because they're being dropped on the ground, which in my past experience, has often been muddy.
