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.
In the middle of all the Irish festivities in Second Life, the Basement Club is always ready to have some craic (fun). We don't really need a holiday for that.
Fun can be described differently depending on the person. What might be fun to you, might not be fun to someone else. For example, when I show people pictures or videos about Second Life and tell them how much fun it can be, they look at me like I have lost my baloobas.
Yes, that could be true, but only the real Second Lifers understand what we do here and why we keep logging in. I have been here for 12 and 1/2 years and that is a long time and now we are ready to celebrate the anniversary of the Basement Club.
Eight years ago, the Basement Club opened and went through many style and design changes. However, a few years ago, its final look was established. The Basement Club is relatively small, but it is a popular club for all who visit. You'll only know it if you've experienced it firsthand. This year, we're adding an Easter egg hunt, so you can also explore the Retreat. The Retreat has been around a little longer than the Basement Club, and we want to ensure that it's open to all Second Life residents. Therefore, come and explore the Retreat, take pictures, and have fun.s. Therefore, come and explore the Retreat, take pictures, and have fun.s.
