More Halloween Shopping And Health Island In September

 

By Gemma Cleanslate

 

Autumn is coming

There is always a marvelous display of everything Halloween and autumn over at Wonderland Beach Not only that but there is a great hunt going on there. Many of your favorite creators have taken plots there.

Many of the shops and stalls and outside displays have a treasure chest somewhere on their plot. There is a whole section for Dinkies also some treasure chests there so it will take a while to see all the offerings. Plan time!

Another marvelous place to check out is Halloweentown . This exhibit of shops will also take some time. First there are loads of gachas to examine just full of décor. As I walked around there were all kinds of ghostly little critters walking around me. I love to see them at Halloween parties and on parcels too when I go by.

I loved the little decks and resting carpets with pillows that could be put on properties for a collected décor, a good selection.

I saw a really nice Happy Halloween sign in the air above me as I was walking along the brick path . As I passed under it however I was startled as it fell and became bunch of bones! Be careful what you touch.

Let me step away for a moment to remind you to visit the Virtual Ability sponsored Health Island again this month for informative displays of awareness. Every month as you know there are new exhibits to help one gain knowledge or be reminded of health issues that might affect you or a family member or friends and offer resources. One of them that we should all be worried about is addressed this time. Microplastics!!! It seems science is finding them everywhere including human bodies! Read about it!

One exhibit delves into Pain, a common issue affecting each of us at some times in our lives. Many live with this condition all the time. You will find resources again that will help you or others who mention having pain. There are several other exhibits including heat, whole grains, and fungal disease. You can pick up a notecard with the slurls at this point. Take a walk around also .

Pictures of the Fall Fishing Festival

Gemma Cleanslate was at the 7Seas Fall Fishing Festival last weekend. While there, she took a number of pictures. So here they are, along with a few from Bixyl Shuftan.

Celeste Cazenove is the builder of the swinging ship

 The event was basically lots of fishing, with lots to see.

 And there was quite a bit to see.

 Contests were going on throughout the event, "people hung out in one sim or another most all day"

 Holocluck Henly in a boat.

 Bixyl took a picture of Gemma "hanging around."

She wasn't the only one, though.

The fox also took a spin in an airplane there, which could be launched from a small platform there.

There was lots of fishing fun to be had. The event was officially over after Sunday evening, but the builds remained up until Tuesday.

Fall Fishing Festival

 I took a peek at the Fall Fishing Festival area to see how it was coming along. 7Seas Fishing hosts get together for builders and fishers. In case you have not tried fishing in Second Life it is a great sport. There are loads of wonderful fish to catch, and many land owners or renters hold contests daily with even more custom catches to enjoy. 

At the FFF, the creators put up little islands and and fill the waters with delightful customs for catching. Then beginning as soon as people can get into the regions two next to each other, they park themselves in a area where catches come from all around. Some fishers bring boats or flying wearables and hover in the air. Some pick a nice island and sit around and talk while they fish. A few park themselves under water and go out to work or shopping in real life. It is inventory overflow time!!! I still have a few things from the fishing in the spring that I have not looked at yet. It is such fun and the customs are admired by all. 

Even though you may never have fished in Second Life, it is worth a trip out to the sims just to see the cute builds that will be there for the weekend. The festival will be open from Friday November 14 through Sunday the 16th. However if you can’t make it for exploring, the sims usually stay open through at least Monday and perhaps Tuesday in case you can’t make it over the weekend.

I saw a couple of builds that are almost finished and have the photos here for you. I will take pictures of some of the quaint fishers and prizes over the weekend and post them next week. Land on Grey Nacht’s island and take a tour from there.

This weekend, Gemma spent some time at the 7Seas' Fall Fishing Festival.  Having earlier sent a story to tell about it just as it was starting, she sent a number of pictures as the weekend went on. 

Much of her time was spent at Party Island in Osimia, There were "contests held at the party island which is built like children's school desks."

 People were both dancing to the music ...

 

And quietly sitting down to fish

 

 

Gemma had a number of people competing with her. Among them was Holocluc Henley.

 

 

 Gemma won at least one contest. Her prize: a rare seahorse.

7Seas Fall Fishing Festival

By Gemma Cleanslate

 

It is that time of year. Everything happens on the same weekend and you wish you had bilocation. With everything else going on it is also time to sit and fish!

 

7Seas Fishing sponsors a wonderful three sim fishing event twice a year. Fishiversery in the spring and Fall Fishing Festival in November. All the builders of anything related to fishing, or not, created catches that draws fishers who just sit around and catch, filling up their inventories with goodies that may not get sorted by spring. It was great fun.

 

Many builders had little islands or shacks or quaint builds in the three sims and there was constant fishing going on. It was fun to park yourself in the middle of a group of servers and catch from many builders at the same time. There was comfortable lounging areas on their builds, or one could rezz a boat and move around the sims.

There are 24 fishing areas offering customs and things to buy and a party island where some short fishing contests will be held. There will be requests for donations to, and, auctions will be held to benefit  the  “Child's Play“ charity. This charity supplies toys and games to children's hospitals.

 

Seven Shikami and Meissa Thorne, the creators and owners of 7Seas Fishing are to be congratulated for hosting this event. They have the support of all the fishers in SL. Cudos also to the builders on the sims who created wonderful fishing places and really great catches. If you have time over the weekend to fish or just want to enjoy the view of the sims and the builds or make a contribution check my profile and I  will place the slurl there so you can get in to the sims.
