The trees are poppin'!
Every tree in Rhydin central has been rainbow-fied by beautiful tissue paper. Tissue paper wrapped around eggs, looped with twine and hung on every budding branch sways like delicate spring itself. Anyone can give a tug on one of the strings connected to one end of the tissue paper to reveal a delicately decorated egg for keeping, and stuffed with sweet treats from the various famous Rhydin candy shoppes!

Eggy Art:
Dotted beside large walls and sides of businesses are giant blank canvasses. Beside each canvas are actual egg shells cleverly filled with water color or acrylic paints. These egg shells are for anyone to use and actually toss at the giant canvasses to make egg art! Colors are of course, pastel in shades reflecting the riotous colors of spring blooming. Rhydinians are encouraged to make their own 'art' by tossing these eggs onto the canvass and anyone may decide to keep a giant canvass and proudly display it at home near their ice box or magical 'refrigerator.'
Image

Right beside many of these giant canvasses are many do it yourself egg dying stations! The plethora of supplies for one to decorate their eggs is truly mind blowing! From simple food coloring dip, upward to intricate wax detailing and dying. There's truly something for everyone and every age!

Come and Meet the Easter Bunny at the Eggstravaganza!

In a little corner of the RhyDin city central, a few standing stones and ancient trees create a quiet little sanctuary where kids and kids at heart can meet the legendary Easter Bunny IN PERSON!

Image

This year, the baskets of bunny love will be including a charm or two from Gnoce along with little goodies...

Image
Image
Image
and more!

This year: LOL Surprise and Zuru Five Surprise toys for the little ones! (And the young at heart.)

You may run into the Easter Bunny before and after Easter, because the Easter Bunny really doesn't have a great grasp on dates, but this will be one of the few times that you'll be able to actually bring the kids to meet her in person!

The Easter Bunny will also be providing a quiet space for kids that need a break, parents that need a break, and anyone else who has run out of ducks to give. The Easter Bunny will tell all sorts of Bunny Tales, so drop by!

(Pharl will likely show up live here and there with her magic baskets, BUT she's also there for you to put into your Easter celebrations on the boards! She almost always knows just what the recipient would like best (it's an EB thing). There are tons of cool charms, so just scroll down. Feel free to populate your peeps baskets with all the goodies! Also, Pharl tends to favor high end chocolates, so none of that icky Parkers stuff. But yes to Just Born, because Peeps.)

Drop by for a cuppa odd.

"Ready, Alice?" Jackie called to her little sister.

"Got my shoes on!" Alice cheered. She scrambled to her feet and hurried after Jackie, black curls up in pigtails, to scramble into the little red Triumph.

Cute as could be, wearing matching Neverland print dresses, they were off to the Easter Eggstravaganza. The moment they were parked, Alice was off like a shot, and Jackie was running to keep up on her younger sister. There was so much to do!

But what was important was Eggs, and finding them. Alice grabbed a basket and got down to work, hunting down as many eggs as she could before Jackie distracted the girl with some carrot cake and deviled eggs. Jackie took a rest, trying to get at least some of her sister's antics on Instagram before the girl went carooming off once more. Jackie yelped and went running after.

Thankfully, even tiny dynamos had to wind down sooner or later, and by afternoon, Alice was sacked out behind the Easter Bunny's enclave, and Jackie was vowing never to reproduce.

Amaris came in her new dress that Mist had bought her. She was all ready to go hiding. It was after all the full moon, and she was so nervous and worried that she was pulling at her braid pretty hard. She cast her eyes around, looking for Mist, and once found she went up to him and stood beside him. Soft growls left her every now and then while she fought for control. It wasn’t as bad as if the moon had been up. If it had, she would have never come. She took Mist’s hand. If he allowed himself to be dragged around, she dragged him off, looking at everything, stopping when she got to the paint filled eggs. She read the directions (or listened to the person that might have been running the booth. There were volunteers helping the families right?). Once she understood what was going on, she’d select yellows, purples, pinks and blues and start tossing them: some in the corner, blue and yellow as green dripped down on the left side. She moved sideways and angled the eggs across the canvas long ways, throwing yellow at the middle then a red just below it. They would move down the line. She grabbed green and did the same along the bottom, skipping the egg as it broke and shattered all across the bottom. Then she picked up the pinks and blues and tossed them at the other corner. When she was done, she said she’d come back for it later because it was big.

After it was done, she wanted to go color some eggs, so she dragged Mist after her to start coloring eggs. She’d color purples and blues and some black ones too, using glitter liberally: stars, moons, and sparkles. She added them to the wax, and well, the eggs looked a mess, but artistically so, and she smiled, putting them aside to dry before looking around again.

She went to the tree and started pulling on a few strings, careful not to take them all. She got a few eggs, opening them to look at all the sweets and smiling, then off she went to find eggs, leaving Mist’s side for the first time. She still seemed to be keeping her distance from the other children. She wasn’t sure if she was safe enough to be around. She’d collect as many eggs as she could, but after about 15 she didn’t want to take any more, hoping she hadn’t take too many. After she put her eggs in a basket she’d go over to see if the bunny was about, curiously looking around at the stones.

Mist found a new fathom to the depths he would go to avoid wearing one of the sleek and modern suits in his closet, and paired it with a silly headband bobbing with blue butterflies. He arrived at the town square, looking around intently. Amaris found him and he leaned to kiss her brow, and perhaps unwisely, gave her his hand.

And off she went! Laughing, the long-legged elf kept up well enough with the girl, letting her discover all of the games and events that were available. A few times, he'd get her to sit and eat a bit, but mainly, he was fine with chasing after Amaris.

Mist watched Amaris's artistic endeavors with a tilt of his head. She seemed to be enjoying both the colors and the method of 'painting'. She was rather good at it! The eggs were pretty well done for a kid who'd likely never done anything like it.

He did happen to know the Easter Bunny personally, after all, Mist had a long and strange connection to rabbits. He introduced Amaris to the Easter Bunny, but then whispered the Easter Bunny's Secret Identity to Amaris to help with any confusion later.

It was nice and quiet in the standing stones, so Mist picked up a basket to give to Amaris and took another for himself, and settled down to take a break.

Now if Roni showed up as well, it'd be an even better afternoon.

Maggie, along with siblings Cate and Rick, joined in the festivities. They dressed casually in jeans and t-shirts. However, they planned ahead for the often messy operation of painting! Each of the Harker children, now a teen and a pair of tweens, were helping the younger folk with their Easter paintings! They'd brought a pile of aprons along for the other artists.

"Who knew eggs had paint in them?" a small girl said as she peered curiously at Rick.

"I think these are special eggs," he said with a knowing smile. "Don't forget to get your basket from the Easter Bunny!"

"I'm afraid of big animals!" The girl's eyes widened and tears were brimming.

"You want me to go along?" He offered the girl his hand after looking to her nearby parents for an ok.

She, too, looked to mom and dad for permission. "Yes!" She let loose with a high pitched squeal as her hand closed around his.

Maggie giggled and nudged Catie. "I think Rick has a fan!"

A few others that had been reluctant to get close to the bunny followed. Safety in numbers seemed like a good idea!

"Better make that a fan club!" Catie chirped.

Each of the kids that had come to paint was gifted with a box of treats including carrot caked along with bunny and egg shaped cookies dipped in chocolate! Boxes with other treats were set out for those that didn't like or couldn't eat the sweeter things. Elaine had been commissioned or, perhaps, commandeered, into working on the snacks at Divine Delights. They were given their aprons as well; some of which had become fantastic pieces of art!
