Expo -05

WE know it's in the valley.
WE know the guild has a budget.
WE know it's Sept 16 thru the 24th
WE know Garnet is going to build the staging area.
WE know Dianne is setting up photo area
WE know Kendra is making little tents and a giant Dragon. (and also free food and drink)

What we don't know is what you're doing!

So --uhm--what are YOU doing? And also I need also merchants to contact me about setting up a tent on the fairgrounds.

cheers,

Kendra

Well, I just saw ya in-world, but you looked busy with the building and the primming and such, so I'll ask here; any ideas? Most of my building ideas recently have been geared to Burning Life and are, thus, a bit surreal.

surreal is good

also, the tents are starting to go up and only cost 10% of sales payable to the fountain in town square. The Guild uses the honor system for payment, so remember that your moneys go to the beautification of Neualtenburg. If you would like to set up in a tent..please see (or IM) me.

Oooh dragon! *getting really excited*

I've built staging in the valley and set a rune tree at its head. It's a pretty basic tree a) because I didn't have time to do any more to it and b) because I'm hoping it will spark some ideas in other builders. Kendra - how do we go about a collaborative build like this, assuming it's a good idea in the first place?

I'll post a piccie when I get back in-world. For info the rune is an Algiz, signifying Protection.

Kendra, do we have a solid rundown list of what we *know* will be featured at the EXPO? Some nice list from the guild would be helpful I think for the RA. We need to get EXTRA on the ball in the RA advertising this event, and a nice list of "features" that the public can expect will help greatly I think!

Well, I know the events I'll be holding!

In the Gypsy Wagon --Madame Sissie Maracas will be telling fortunes.

By The Swan Canal in the charming downtown area of Altenburg,
Kendra Bancroft will be painting portraits on canvas.

And Nisse Nillson will be holding a taste test between rival breweries Altenbrau & Neubrau. Match whits with this impish zwerg in a riddle game and win a free garden gnome!

also --to celebrate the one year anniversary of Neualtenburg, the Artist's Guild is donating to the city, The Punctual Nussknacker who makes his rounds around the tower clock on the hour, enjoy the view from the Neualtenburg Schloss now under construction!!

Also there will be merchant tents featuring some special EXPO only items on sale by local artisans and best of all free food!

We still have tents available for merchants. Free for citizens, 10% commision payable to the Artist's Guild for non-citizens --so let me know!

Digi and I will be selling some of the mini-games we created for Riddle City Ransom. They will be dressed up in Nuealtenburg style and only available during the Expo. It's unlikely we'll sell those RCR mini-games in any version, when the Expo is through.

So there's some Expo goodness from the private sector.

I just added an announcement about the EXPO in the Special Attractions forum here: /invalid_link.html

I used the information I could find in this thread, but if anyone has stuff to add, let me know! Or go and add it yourself!!

I also added a blurb about it to my signature [see below] and the link will take people to that thread so they can stay up to date! If anyone wants to copy my sig to theirs, please feel free!

Those of you hosting specific events at specific times, need to remember to get your listings on the Events Calendar!

And yay for the beginning of the EXPO!!

I put a couple of hi rez photos I took of the Expo on my Flickr page. I kinda suck at screenshots but it makes a nice (and very short) slideshow.
