Hair Fair 2017

With the Relay Weekend coming up, the Relay for Life is clearly the most active charity this month. But by all means it's not the only one. The 2017 Hair Fair, which raises money for Wigs for Kids, has been going on since the first of the month, and will continue until Sunday July 16.

Over four sims, Osmium, Iridium, Rhodium, and Platinum, various small shops offer a number of hairpieces for male and female avatars, with at least 15% going to charity. The website also states, "There are also Kiosks for direct donations, and Bandana Booths that donate 100% of all purchases." Among the booths, there were also a number of pictures up, possibly the results of an art contest.

Wigs for Kids is a charity that is aimed at helping children deal with hair loss, such as from the side-effects of chemotherapy, by providing them with hairpieces made from human hair. More  can be read about them at: http://dfwhairloss.com/wigs-for-kids/ .

Fishiversary Pictures

This weekend was the twice a year Fishiversary event, sponsored by 7Seas. There were parties to be at, prizes to get, and plenty of scenery. There were numerous exhibits in the sims for the event. Gemma Cleanslate, the Newser's fishing fan, dropped by with her camera and got a number of screenshots of the various places in this angler's paradise.

See the pictures in Events.

Fishiversary

 

Every spring, the 7Seas Fishing Game has a full weekend of fun fishing in three sims. It is called Fishiversary and there is great anticipation among the fishing community for weeks beforehand.  It will be open from Friday May 3 through Monday May 6. Owners of fishing sites all over SL and some individuals with "fishy business" create little islands where they place custom fishing items for catching. The catches range from special wearable fish, rods, boats, avatars, apparel, to gift certificates. 

 

The little isles are always worth seeing. Meissa Thorne is building a special center on Osmium region where the 7seas owners, Seven and Jen Shikami will place special gifts.  Parties and contests take place on that main island and there are always wonderful prizes such as bait, which is coveted.  Fishers can rezz a boat there and take off to the other sims and fish for all kinds of magical customs they have created for us. 

 

Whether you are a fisher or not it would still be a great place to visit just to see the builds in the regions. If you are a fisher this is a great time to fill your inventory with special items. Hope to see you there. I am placing a slurl here that will work beginning Friday morning!
