Marshmallows fall from the sky at annual Michigan Easter event

It rained marshmallows at two Detroit-area parks as kids raced to collect thousands of the fluffy treats dropped from a helicopter.

The annual Marshmallow Drop is hosted by Wayne County Parks. Hundreds of children cheered as the helicopter passed by on its way to the drop zone.

A bag of thousands of marshmallows was emptied on to the waiting grass while organizers warned kids to not eat the treats.
