St. Patrick's Day
Clubhouse Event
In 2010, Ganz decided to celebrate St. Patrick's Day in Webkinz World for the first time. In the week leading up to the Holiday, they set a tiny jig-dancing Groundhog dressed like a Leprechaun loose in the Clubhouse. Players clicking on the critter received one of six different rainbow-colored Jelly Coins (food). Those who spotted the Leprechaun six times and collected all six Coins were rewarded with a "Catch the Leprechaun Pot of Gold".
In 2011, "the second year", the promotion was renamed to 2011 Leprechaun Chase and a new prize was awarded.
The event continues in 2016, still named the "Leprechaun Chase".
