The weekend was a very busy on the Bellisseria Continent at the Fairgrounds. It is a long weekend extending through March 17, and a continuation of efforts to raise money for the American Cancer Society begins. Actually it began Thursday at 12 when Ąŗį Ąņãţįņę (Ariradel Bowenford) and Ąđãм Ąņãţįņę (Adam Spark) took to the stage to spin tunes for the party. Lots of people and dinkies, and other critters showed up including the elusive Slenderman.
Who is he???? That is the question, “ The Bellisseria Slenderman is the enigmatic presence of the collective fears of all Bellisserians. His origins are unknown but he was first sighted at Campwich Forest by a group of party goers. Bellisserians are advised not to approach the Slenderman. He likely will not interact with you, but your fears may increase his power.”
There will be boat ride tours of the areas around the Fairgrounds on Sinemax’s "SINAS PARTY BARGE. I took it and since it was the first one of the day so was rather quiet and I got the royal treatment . There was just Sinemax, MagnificentMax and me. I chose to sit rather than dance and am glad I did . We lost MagnificentMax at a sim crossing the bay waters, never to be seen again. He just fell off the boat.
I hopped on a hot air balloon with Roman Kiranov which I assume will be giving rides during the week. He was just setting up the tour which was interesting in itself. I will try it out again.
All across the fairgrounds are activities to get involved in, Shops offering wares for sale all proceeds headed for the Relay for Life, including amusement games, (try the bungee jumping, I did) parties, and more parties and activities I still need to explore. I saw a kissing booth. You are all invited to come see the fairgrounds and join in with the citizens of Bellisseria and Relay folk and have a lot of fun. This will take you to the entrance to the fairgrounds near the party boat launch area where boats will be taking off every hour on the hour beginning mostly at 2ish. Lots to do on the fairgrounds while you wait...
The Relay for life team for Bellisseria is here to help assist those who want or need information. We encourage everyone to get involved lets face it we all know someone who has been impacted by this in some way and the Hope regions are full of information to help Second Life residents from group sessions or just information in general. We host events to help raise money to provide research or treatments and various other things that are needed to keep fighting back until Cancer is curable for all.
Imagine one day being able to see a doctor and receiving a treatment that makes you cancer free. That's going to be possible one day, we just have to believe, we must remain positive this will happen as we have come a long way from where we were back in the 70's and 80's. Cancer is no longer a death sentence for everyone.
As the team for Bellisseria, we will do whatever we can to guide people in the right direction, if you or someone you know has questions, please ask one of us. Do you want to host an event to help us raise lindens? Come and talk to us... want to donate money outside of Second Life? We will help you do that too!
You can even ask to help just by attending events and joining our team. You will definitely make some new friends who all have a story to tell.
Together we can do this one day at a time!
