Isle of Wyrms Winter Festival 2007

Come one come all to the Winter Festival held on the Isle of Wyrms over the 7th till 9th of December. The Festival begins with a Grand Opening Ceremony on Friday at 12pm SL time, with a speech from the current Isle of Wyrms Mayor and a live-music concert.

The whole weekend will be underpinned by many ongoing small events and games, booths showcasing what the Dragon Isles are all about, as well as dragon rides and a Festival-long, Isles-spanning dragon egg hunt, where lucky winners can claim a free dragon avatar. These small events and games will fit neatly in between a multitude of carefully planned major events.

As Saturday comes around, the Isle of Wyrms Quiz starts, where the entrant with the most correct answers will receive a dragon avatar. Also on Saturday is a fun event, the Dragon Bounce, where dragons of all sizes and species are invited to take part in a co-ordinated bounce.

Saturday will also include the judging for the Gingerbread house competition at 2pm, please no eating the entries!

The day will conclude with a spectacular fireworks display on the Isles, coordinated by Talarus Luan, Atilia Drebin and Ryu Darragh.

Sunday starts with a Dragon Drum Circle at 1pm SL time, whilst the results of the Egg Hunt and the Isle Quiz are being collated. The results for both the Egg Roll and the Quiz will be announced at 2pm SL time.

The whole event will conclude at 5pm SL time with a fabulous Ball, complete with live streaming music and a King and Queen of the Ball impromptu-judged event. Below is a short breakdown of the timings of the weekend. For more information please Contact Kalira Stromer, Zephyr Penell or Jahdo Ohtobide.
