More details on Winterfest :)

Come join in the fun at Magic of Oz this winter season! We have six WEEKS of fun stuffs to do here in the Land of Oz.

First up is the Winterfest flickr contest. Each week for the next six weeks we will take submissions in our flickr group for winter photos in Oz. The rules are simple. Winter or holiday themed. Use different areas of the sim for extra credit. For super extra credit, look around and utilize the awesome interactive decorations all around the sim. Ther are lots of things to do here - ice skating, sleigh riding, food and drinks to find - ride a carousel! We will be looking for creativity as much as a lovely picture. Photoshopping is allowed but not required. Malk and I will choose a winner each week who receives 500L. The six winners will then go to a public vote for best Winter photo in Oz. The grand prize winner gets $5,000L! Exciting stuffs yes? See the discussion in our flickr group at http://flickr.com/groups/magicofoz/

We are also doing Festivus in the Witch's Castle - a SL holiday for the rest of us! Come visit the Festivus Pole and air your grievances anonymously through our Angry Snowman! Marvel at the display of Feats of Strength and enjoy whatever other rituals we can come up with.

We are also planning a formal Winter Solstice Ball on the 21st at Emerald City. Ballgowns, dancing, prizes and merriment galore =D Do you love beautiful flowing dresses and dashing formalwear? Does the thought of dancing the shortest night of the year away to lovely holiday music spun by a live DJ sound like fun? Then this is an event not to be missed! Prizes for Best Dressed, of course. Times to be announce shortly.

Then we are planning our Candy Cane Frolic - this is a hunt with a twist. (ha!) We will have candy canes (magic ones of course) that spawn randomly throughout the sim, just like the ruby slippers. But in this case, the candy cane gives you a gift tag labeled with a certain store. Inside the store is a present. You wear the tag, touch the present and get a gift! Easy as can be :)

Oh, also new holiday custom fish on the way and fishing in different areas of the sim! Maybe fishing tournaments if I can convince Malk to run some...*grins*

Last but CERTAINLY not least... we have new stores in Munchkin Land! Welcome Alchemy, L & Co., The Laughing Academy, and Reve du Crie/Guild of Crie to Oz. Stop by and visit the newly remodeled section 2 of ML. I think we have one remaining open shop there and we would love to get a hair designer! IM Magic Scribe for more information.

Questions, comments, or flinging snowballs? Im me, Malkavyn Eldritch, or Magic Scribe.

Stay Shiny!
