RegencyFest Begins! Walking Tour and Regatta!

RegencyFest's first official event was a well-attended walking tour of the sim led by Lady Shaylee. We all had lovely lanterns she created to use as we stopped at residences and businesses along the way. Many have signs that you can click for a notecard if you'd like to find out more info. Oh! Did you know that Regency has its own Stonehenge-esque Stone Circle? Come see for yourself... Afterwards, we gathered at my pier for the start of the "Whatever Floats Your Boat" Regatta...all vessels welcome! I had a spread of casks of Loch Avie/Bellambi whisky and Dominacythe absinthe from Friar Newbe, Winterfell port and tea, of course. I also had lemonade and cake for any tiny visitors...
Mr Farrin Underwood and Miss Imogen Saltair came dressed, as they said, "in preparation of sinking"...
...but we decided their vessel should win the award for "Most Creative" (this was taken before they changed the axle position).
Mr Knight was there to hand out the lovely lighthouse awards he created to Lady Dia for best time, Miss Saltair for her creativity, and Prof. Avalanche in appreciation for his help...
We had quite a lot of fun!

I totally adore my trophy thingy, it's so beautifully made!

And of course, I had a freaking blast. Will reserve further commentary for my own journal, if you don't mind ;)
