Halloweentown and Creation's Halloween Festival

By Gemma Cleanslate

Landing and finding myself surrounded by bones at Halloweentown was a little disconcerting, and then to have little pumpkin spiders crawling  around did not help! This sim is mostly great fall scenes and Halloween decor that will fit any venue.I recommend it for shopping for sights and scenes for your autumn and scary sims.

I took a delightful carriage ride around the woody sim and saw lots of fun things along the way.At the top of the hill I jumped out to tour a Mystery Mansion. A walk through was an experience.  Who did what to whom here was my thought all the way along and no one there was able to tell me. Walking back through the misty woods was frightening since strange creatures were all along the way. I passed a witches cove filled with potions .

My last stop there was at spooky carnival populated by eerie clowns. If you need decor for your sims make a stop here.

Lots to see and buy! For those who like gachas too.

After Halloweentown I went shopping.

Creations Park is all about Parkinson’s disease and the Fox Foundation as you know. Right now there is a huge Season's Festival  going on  with a 10L pumpkin hunt in the shops. Visiting this pleasant sim is always fun. This time after I took a TP over to the shopping area from the well marked teleport map I went on up the the magnificent castle on the hill. 

The grounds are deceptively beautiful because inside it is a nightmare. Wisps of ghosts floating and skeletons occupy the many rooms you visit.

Each room has its own personality with or without occupants. Watch carefully for entrances to secret places as you go .

Also keep an eye for the 13 black cats in rooms . They contain a prize. At the roof sits a dragon waiting to take you on a ride! He has ulterior motives! When you have time visit the other wonderful sights on this delightful sim.Near the teleport map there is a group invite board and the calendar if you would like to know more about the region and its events and its ongoing mission.

Grand Opening of Peace Nation at Creations Park

 By Bixyl Shuftan

On Saturday April 19th, Barbie Alchemi held a Grand Opening event to celebrate her new Peace Nation build at the Creations Park sim. The event lasted from 10AM to 7PM SL time.

"Please join us for a magical day of Live Music, Dance, Laughter and Friendship. This beautiful natural environment is a Native American "sim in the sky" built with love as a Native American "sim in the sky" for Creations Team Fox for the Michael J Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research."

 People were invited to dress in Native American fashion, as they danced to live music being performed, "Don your ceremonial robes, your feathers, your scales, claws & fur. Bring your drums & rattles! Our Nature Spirits are calling to us.Dance & sing, grounding our energy to the beat of tribal rhythms."  

Barbie's real life mother was also there, "I would like everyone to meet my awesome 87 years young Mom:  Fran Serenade, who is with us today. Everything I do (here) I do it with love for her." She invited people to watch the Youtube of Drax Despress' interview of them (click here).

Among the purposes of the sim and it's events is to collect funds for Parkinsons research, and this event collected quite a bit. At 4:29, Barbie spoke, "I have an exciting announcement! We have raised 45,000 Linden dollars so far today! Let's reach 50,000!"

Barbie invited everyone to explore the place after the party, "I hope everyone takes the time to explore this beautiful natural environment ... built with love. There is a lot to see and enjoy here. We also have an equally beautiful main sim and underwater. So please come back to see it all." One partier quickly agreed, "Barbie has done an amazing job of putting the sim together... well worth exploring."
