Additional Information

A button from the 1983 White House Easter Egg Roll, using the artwork from the program covers. The Reagan Administration appears to be the first to give out souvenir buttons for the event, as well as hand-painted wooden eggs. Also the first administration that used cartoon and popular characters on the souvenirs; the previous year was Snoopy.  Came in multiple colors--purple, green, yellow, orange, hot pink, and blue.
