The Spoonful of Sugar Festival

 

 

 The "Spoonful of Sugar Festival" is back in Second Life. This is a fundraiser event to raise money for the Doctors Without Borders charity. Based in Switzerland, the group helps the sick and injured in over 70 countries, notably where conflict and natural disaster have struck.

 

While we do not "earmark" our funds raised for MSF for any specific aspect of what they do, at the Spoonful Of Sugar, we do like to choose an area of their work for our focus and education. While in Tahiti we are looking more at environmental issues and impacts MSF/Doctors Without Borders faces. Please join us at destinations around our planet - which are not only astoundingly beautiful and wealthy, but at the same time devastatingly vulnerable and poor. Lets all learn and understand this connection between environmental imbalance and the illness, safety and resource insecurity facing so many on our planet.

 

The event area covers ten sims. Most are full of  shopping areas with items up for sale with all or part of the money going to the charity. This includes at least one limited edition item on sale only at the Festival. There's also the "Get Crabby Hunt." There are also occasional music parties with DJs (the one I saw was in the southernmost sim). There are also auctions and raffles for giftcards,

 

The scenery was picturesque, with many of the stores set up as island huts. There were also groups of script-controlled islanders dancing and playing music, as if welcoming the attendees. For shoppers, there is a variety of items to get from pets, to furniture, to Halloween goods, to farming game supplies, and more.

At The Hopefest

 *

Since Wednesday June 8, the Hopefest has been taking place. While technically a five day event, the three days from Wednesday to Friday get most of the attention.

In RFL Life, there were live music events such as Tia Rungway's piano performance.

And there were DJs such as Tracer Graves and Nat The Cat. One event I missed was the particle show by Color Alchemist.

 Also in the sim were some raffles, and silent auctions.

 To the south in RFL Knowledge was the Goblin Fair, with a number of Medieval and Rennisance-themed amusements, alongside some such as paintball. 

In RFL Knowledge are more modern-themed attractions at an amusement park.

While not part of the Hopefest, there were other happenings elsewhere at the Relay track, such as a dance performance at the Gorean area.

Today (Friday June 10) from Noon to 3PM is the Linden and Mole Barbecue with Patch Linden. So come by if you have a moment.

Tomorrow of course is the big weekend, the Relay Walk. So don't forget this most intense 24 hours of Second Life as well.

While the official Relay for Life season isn't until spring, there are spinnoff events other times in the year. Tomorrow, Friday November 1, is the start of their winter event: The Relay for Life in Second Life Chirstmas Expo. For ten days across six sims next to the American Cancer Society sim, there are plenty of attractions and plenty of things to do from shopping, to hunts and raffles, to contests, and of course photos with Santa.

The Expo goes on until Sunday December 9, with the Holiday for Hope Ball being the last event.

Milky Way Kirin Mod Release Party at Montecito Bay's Avagora

Tuesday August 28 was the day The Avagora Mall at Montecito Bay had a release party for a new product: the Milky Way Kirin Mod. The event had four raffles, three of which were for gift cards to the Milky Way store, the fourth which was for a free modded avatar. There was also a "Come As You Are" contest that started out for 3400 Lindens, but people added more and more to the prize, 5000 Lindens, 10,000 Lindens, and finally at 13,001 Linden dollars. "That board, think it was about to blow up," someone would comment in the Discord chat. There were about 42 people in the sim at one point, presumably all but maybe one or two at the event.
