Isle of Wyrms Festival 2007

Come one come all to the Summer Festival held on the Isle of Wyrms over the first weekend in June. The Festival begins with a Grand Opening Ceremony on Friday night at 7pm SL time, with a speech from the current IoW Mayor and a concert from prominent SL musician and dragon enthusiast Cypress Rosewood.

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 scavenger 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, visitors will be treated to a Hatchie Egg Roll event. Followers of Daryth Kennedy's Wyrm Hatchling and Hedgehog avatars will be able to participate in an action-packed game where the object of the event is to knock all others out of the nest and be the last Hatchie or Hedgie standing! This event is almost as fun to be a spectator as it is to be a participant. There will be three rounds throughout the day and a final round to crown the King or Queen of Hatchie Egg Roll. Event times are 9am, 11am, 2pm and the final at 6pm SLT.

Also on Saturday will be a demo from the Dragons of Pern clan at 4pm SLT in the Tir Infernis sim featuring their specially designed dragon fireball combat system and an explanation of the depth and purpose of their clan. Prospective new members and dragon enthusiasts alike are welcome.

The day will conclude at 8:30pm SLT with a spectacular fireworks display on the Isles, coordinated by Talarus Luan and Atilla Drebin.

Sunday dawns with a Dragon Fashion Show at 12pm SL time, where creators are invited to bring their designs for a special in-person judged contest, and then the runways will open for the Citizens of the Isles to showcase the creations of fine Dragon designers.

The whole event will conclude at 6pm 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, Aradia Aridian or Apollo Aridian.
