The Festival is starting to come together.
Here are 4 photos by Doc Nolan of four very different builds already in place.
They are by: Aphra Hendrix, Kim Starr, Lain Iwakura, and Jillian 2000 Quintessa.
Can you guess who did what?
If you haven't finished your build, there is still time - but it's running out. See you on the grid!
OpensimFest July 8 - 24 2022

You can always tell a country girl who grew up on a farm. Look at this beautiful lush tomato plant and those delicious looking tomatoes! Oh I'll have to make spaghetti sauce and homemade ketchup and tomato soup and the list goes on! So much work to do on the farm. But I'm not selfish, nope! These tomato plants are available at our Welcome Center at Grid Our Dawn! They're free and full perm and I hope you will enjoy having them and decorating with them as much I did making them. You can find these beauties at -- grid.our-dawn.com:8002:Welcome -- come and get 'em before the birds eat 'em all! And while you're there, mosey on into the Bifrost and come check out Crystal Farm, that's my house and farm and take a relaxing stroll around. God Bless!

Got tired of looking at an empty garden and I wasn't able to find a big cabbage patch anywhere so I decided to grow my own! I made them in prim first, textured them, then pulled them into blender and made them mesh so that 159prims became 1 in a 12 head cabbage patch. If you'd like one just ask, I'll be happy to share also I'll be putting them up in the "Welcome" region of grid our dawn.... grid.our-dawn.com:8002:Welcome .....

OpensimFest is less than two weeks away, and there's still a chance for you to be part of the fun!
Greeters organizer Snoots Dragon has a message for you
"TO EVERYONE: We are greatly in need of Greeters. This is an easy task and a great way to make new friends. We have a Greeters Guide notecard with quick-to-read information on being a Greeter. The job is easy: spend however much spare time you may have available at Central to help people if they have questions about the Festival. No schedule required; this is totally volunteer time. Please contact SNOOTS DWAGON either on Discord or by IM in-grid. Greeting is a fun and relaxing way to spend time at the Festival... and we could use your help. This is all in the promotion of science, and at the end of the Festival, there will be cake. Thanks!"

A note to those who are interested, our Wyldwood Bayou Grid event schedule will no longer include any events at Opensimfest 2022. The events which were previously scheduled at the festival will now be held at Wyldwood Bayou at their usual venues and times. We have decided to withdraw our sponsorship and participation in Opensimfest due to philosophical differences regarding how the festival's access policy is being implemented.

I do not have a you must be this tall to come here sign.. so height is not the reason you get banned if your in a child and teenagers avatar.. its because your avatar is is just not suited to this adult environment.. and I refuse to be called a pedo by allowing you at any of my events.. go back t the grid you came from and have your own party there.. but no one in a child avatar is allowed ot party with us grown up and no Im not 7 feet tall in fact im very short myself, but I have a shape body and skin that makes me look like an adult..

To all those who feel the desperate desire to criticize my build based on religious idiology and not artistic creativity, please read the little attachment on this post and be aware, the next clown that does it will have their post deleted as well. I am NOT here to argue religion and I don't give a rat's ass what you do or don't believe. I'm here to create beauty based on a historical city described in the Bible that was built by probably the most famous King in history, I am not here to indoctrinate, convert or criticize so if that's your game, kindly play it elsewhere because I don't have time for your bullshit. My beliefs are mine based on 60 years of research and I don't care one inkling of a little bit if you agree or not so please keep your argumentative, judgemental, holier than thou posts to yourself and stay off my page.

Beginning soon (12.00 Grid time) a party to celebrate fifteen years of the MdM and the extraordinary dedication and work of Rosanna Galvani to nurture, divulge and protect virtual art in both SL and Opensim.
The party is here craft-world.org:8002:Art Garage

Like any grid, OpensimFest would be nothing without the tech person keeping it safe, fast, and accessible
Who is this handsome fellow?

Typhaine Artez, whom many of you may know, as a wonderful lady, and genius scripter, has provided us all with a redo of DJ PHIL's osvisitor web based system. It allows you to store your visitor list without storing sensitive data like ip addresses, but not having to rely on inworld objects - which often get reset. This project allows you to sort by visitors to a specific region, or a grid, or sort visitors by day, week or month. It relies on a free website for the free api call to process the data. What an amazing gift to the community! https://github.com/typhartez?tab=repositories

Do you like magic? Now you can have magic in osgrid! I've created these AMAZING and NEW magic huds that let you have special powers in osgrid. Powers include: invisibility, teleport to anyone in your sim, observe anyone in your sim from far away, instantly ban a greifer, rez an orb to help you find lost items, and MUCH MUCH MORE!!! Many additional magical spells in the huds turn you into a witch, fairy, elf, or vampire! Now you can live the magical life YOU were meant to live! Experience the JOY of MAGIC!

We still have some free parcels open and 8 days still left to build. Tell your friends and get your own if you don't have one already!

Here is how to get started (we apologize for the multiple steps, but these have become necessary in light of recent grid attacks):

Step 1: Go to https://www.opensimfest.com/register to get a ticket as an exhibitor or as a merchant if you want to sell your products. This is how we get your email address

Step 2: You will receive an email invite to create an optional local avatar account on OSFest Grid. You may skip this step and proceed directly to Step 3 if you would like to use your HG avatar instead, but you will need to contact us in Discord to set up a meeting with your HG avatar on the OSFest Grid.

Step 3: Sign up for an open parcel at https://signupschedule.com/osfest

Step 4: We will get an email about your choice, then arrange to send a group invite to your local OSFest avatar as officer to your parcel so that you can build on it
