No eggs for egg-fight reenactment

Aw damn. Egg Harbor, Wisconsin (a pretty little town in the Door County peninsula) was all set to reenact the legendary "egg fight" that occured in the adjoining harbor that spawned the town's name, when some ol' fuddy duddies got all concerned about possible environmental implications. Couldn't they just put down some plastic sheets or something? Or like stage the fight on a backdrop of fake water? There's got to be a way to work real eggs into this thing. Otherwise, are they going to change their name to Plastic Egg Harbor?
