After the kids finished their homework, they filed outside to see a yard and basketball court speckled with brightly colored plastic Easter eggs. The kids jumped and squealed with excitement. Ready…Set…Go! And they took off!

The hunt was on! Easter came early on March 26 at the local Boys and Girls Club, thanks to local fraternity Beta Theta Pi and sorority Pi Beta Phi.

This is the second year Beta and Pi Phi has teamed up to spend time with kids and brighten their day.

“This is something I’m trying to make more of an annual thing that is set in stone –– something we do every year,” said Robert “Scooter” Smith, Beta’s philanthropy chair, who was in charge of coordinating the hunt. “It’s easy, it’s fun, the kids love it, and I personally like seeing the kids really enjoy it.”

The Willie Price Lab School at the University of Mississippi...

The Willie Price Lab School at the University of Mississippi engages its preschoolers and their parents each year to come up with creative vessels in which to put fragile eggs, which are then dropped from atop the three-story building (Kinard Hall) where the school is housed. Some eggs break, and some survive, but the event is always fun for the kids and their parents.

Some eggs break, and some survive, but the event is always fun for the kids and their parents.

Here’s a look at the March 26, 2013 Egg Drop:

Birdhouse Auction Raises Funds for Habitat for Humanity

Powerhouse reception is part of Art Crawl

The Houses for Houses program is raising money for Habitat for Humanity by putting a new house into the hands of those who give. The Powerhouse Community Arts Center will host a reception Tuesday, March 26, during the Art Crawl, for the fundraising initiative, which began March 4 and runs through April 1.

“We will be auctioning off more than 50 birdhouses made by local artists to benefit the Oxford/Lafayette Habitat for Humanity,” explains local artist Andi Bedsworth. The birdhouses are already on display at the Powerhouse Community Arts Center with bid sheets, and some bids have already been cast. “The show is open all day today and will be open tomorrow as well,” Bedsworth says. “The reception starts at 7 p.m., and bidding will close by 9 p.m.”

Bedsworth says the birdhouses are made with materials including fabric, tin cans, ceramics, wine corks, wood, beads, and metal.

“They are big and small, tall and short, and traditional and non-traditional. Some are purely decorative and some will be perfect for housing the birds in your yard. Please come out to the silent auction and make a bid. There will also be a raffle for a wood-turned house made by Cecil Bowers.”

Refreshments will be served, and the Double Decker bus will transport people to other galleries open in the Art Crawl.
