BAY CITY ANNUAL TREE LIGHTING, CONCERT, AND FUNDRAISER

Sixth Annual event coming in December

BAY CITY, SL (27th November, 2015) – The Bay City Alliance will host its annual Tree Lighting event on Sunday, 13th December 2015 from 1-4 pm SL. The event will be held at the Bay City Fairgrounds, in North Channel ( http://slurl.com/secondlife/North%20Channel/128/128/24/ ) and will feature DJ GoSpeed Racer and live performers Christov Kohnke and Grace McDunnough. The event will also feature ice-skating, dancing, refreshments and lots of fun for all!

Since December of 2014, Bay City has raised US$1,675.00 for Child’s Play Charity (www.childsplaycharity.org) and as part of the event, a silent auction will again be held to support them. We are asking Second Life™ designers and artists to participate by providing fun, interesting, unique, or other transferrable items (or a no-copy object that the auction winner can give to you to redeem their prize, if the item(s) have to be no transfer). Please contact Marianne McCann to participate.

Auction will end at the conclusion of the event. All proceeds from the silent auction and from donation bins at the venue will go to Child’s Play Charity. Child’s Play is a 501c3 non profit organization offers online communities such as ours an opportunity to help seriously ill children around the globe during their hospital stays with the purchase of games and gaming equipment.

Bay City is a mainland community, developed by Linden Lab® and home to the Bay City Alliance. The Bay City Alliance was founded in 2008 to promote the Bay City regions of Second Life and provide a venue for Bay City Residents and other interested parties to socialize and network. It is now the largest group for Residents of Bay City.

BURN2 Santalarity 2015: “Great Things Come in Small Packages”

BURN2 Santalarity 2015 will be opening on Saturday 12th December through until Sunday 13th December 2015. The theme is “Great Things Come in Small Packages” and the event will be held at the Burning Man regions in Second Life. See the press release here.

Like a fable borne upon a mist of time, a magical, mysterious transformation is wrought upon the ancient dry lake bed we know as the playa. When the mist clears you see an alpine wonderland of mountains, hills and valleys.

Oh, but that is not all! As you draw in for a closer look, you notice something incredible: everything is small in size. You are surrounded by miniature villages and diminutive trains, with LIlliputian creatures and beings populating the scene. But don’t let their small sizes fool you – things are rarely as they appear.

Doesn’t that just stir up all sorts of things in your mind? Petites, Tinies, Micros..miniature camps and mini-mutant vehicles, the world goes small! Of course, we’ll have a fun little Burn, too. You are invited to participate!

Tinies, petites and other small avatar creatives are especially invited to be a part of this event, to build, DJ and perform.

How to Apply! 

• FREE plot (limited numbers remaining)
• DJs and performers interested in the event sign up here
• Greeters – Contact Freia Guillaume to sign up
