Easter Egg Hunt

Some theorists have traced Easter egg hunts back to the Pennsylvania Dutch (Germany) of the 1700s who believed that a hare called 'Oschter Haws' (Osterhase) laid eggs in the grass. Therefore, kids would build nests (which many symbolize today with the fake green "grass" that is placed at the bottom of the Easter basket) and search for the eggs.

This tradition is not only still celebrated today by many families, but also by entire communities. Many local organizations hold annual Easter egg hunts as a way to bring the folks living in the area together while giving children the opportunity to fill their baskets as high as possible with eggs and other Easter candies found around the grounds.

This year we will have an Easter Egg Hunt at the Retreat for the 8th anniversary of the Basement Club. The Easter Egg Hunt is now open and the festivities for the anniversary start on April 1, 2024, at 6PM. 

 

8 years have passed by so quickly and it is hard to believe we are here now 8that long. The Retreat has been around for 11 years, always in the same spot.

Come and join us soon...There will be 8 eggs with gifts inside.
