Scenes From The Bay City Tree Trimming Party

 

 Sunday December 6 was the tree-lighting party at Bay City. The event took place from 1 to about 4 PM SL time in the North Channel sim, the Bay City Fairgrounds.

The tree itself was south from most of the action. It was unlit while I was there. The lighting would be late in the event. There were ice skates available for people to take and skate around it.

There was a silent auction with a number of items up for bid. This was to support the Child's Play Charity (www.childsplaycharity.org).


A number of Bay City  regulars were there, including top citizen Marianne McCann. The party had a special guest at one point, Wendi Linden. She dropped by, and joined in the fun.

 Three musicians did the music for the event. First was GoSpeed Racer whom DJed via her KONA radio station. Earlier in the day she was at Book Island to talk about her latest novel. After her came two life musicians, Maximillion Kleene and Wolfie Starfire.

It was a fun event with plenty for people to enjoy.

A Busy Sunday



Sunday was an active day. It was the last official day for the RFL Christmas Expo, and among the last big events was the "Holidays for Hope" ball. The stage was cleverly designed, looking like a music box. The event lasted from 1 to 6PM.


The Expo wasn't the only event going on. Bay City had it's Christmas Tree Lighting party. with the music provided by DJ GoSpeed Racer and live musicians Melinda M. Baptiste and Erika Ordinary. This was a two hour event from 1 to 4 PM SL time. The event raised a little money for the Child's Play charity.

Bay City's Secret Event Revealed: Everfest March 30 - April 1



Recently, E.F. Committee (EFcommittee Resident) of Bay City finally revealed the reason for the secret messages he or she has been sending since just after Mole Day, here, here, and here. The community would be holding a festival to honor a late noted resident; Ever Dreamscape.

"We aimed for mysterious and 'Ever-like,'" E.F. Committee explained to me, "We realized that there were 3 days between the 'Dreamscape 500' on Thursday and Ever's night on Saturday, so decided to make it a festival this year. Three days we think she'd have totally loved. The Bowlathon is for Ever's favorite charity, Child's Play."

For those who don't know, Ever was a noted part of the Bay City community, who helped organize events. But she was also known for her quirky sense of humor. She would set up many kinds of calamities, but was particularly known for setting fires. In early May 2014, she passed away. Shortly afterwards Bay City honored her in an unusual way by setting much of the city aflame.

Of the earlier teaser messages, "We wanted to build 'mystery' but also get people thinking 'WTF?' We'll type up what each image had to do with Ever, including the links."

The event will include, "random sharks, fires, aliens and Godzillas. We did, with love, when Ever was ever around." Of fires, "that's post party on Ever's Night. Dennis will burn, and we hope most of BC will as well with us. ... We are striving for a very.... ForEver event. She was very unique, it's taking a lot of us to try and even come near" her level."

E.F. Committee concluded, "More details are coming, and everyone is invited. We'll send out LM's in the notecard explaining the posters."

And so, Bay City gets ready to honor one of it's more unique residents in a very unique fashion.
