Independence Day Around Second Life

So what went on during America's Independence Day holiday? In real life, there were parades, barbecues, and fireworks. But what about Second Life? While one 4th of July event of past years wasn't taking place this year, there was still much going on.

See the scenes in Events.

Happy Independence Day

The Old World Artisan 4th of July Street Fair

              
By Gemma Cleanslate

Friday I stopped over at the Old Fashion 4th of July Street fair . It is sponsored by the Old World Artisans Guild and Friends for the benefit of the Relay for Life. If you love gatchas be sure to stop by. There is a field full of them and more . There are 50 merchants with many  bargains, clothing and decor for your home or outdoor area. The setting is lovely with old fashion open sheds with the wares both inside and out.

Kate (Deziray Daehlie) , one of the artisans, told me it would be there until the 6th of July . I spied some free gifts.  I wish I had more room for prims . I did buy some of the Kiosk offerings for my inventory in hopes.

 One was a gorgeous wall fountain with flowers. Another was some vases that were very pretty.

I made a stop by the information boards that give you lots of knowledge about the fight against cancer not only in the US but around the world. I suggest you put it on your list for this holiday weekend.

About Homes For Our Troops
HFOT builds homes as a departure point for Veterans to rebuild their lives, and once again become highly productive members of society. Despite their life-altering injuries, many Veterans have embarked on new careers, completed their college degrees, or started families. Empowered by the freedom a mortgage-free and specially adapted home brings, these Veterans can now focus on their recovery and return to their life’s work of serving others. Many have embraced their roles as motivational speakers, sharing their messages of persevering through tragedy with groups and classrooms around the country; others take to a national platform to promote awareness of veteran suicide, homelessness and PTSD. Their incredible stories are the driving force for the work for HFOT.
