SL Freebie Hunters: Gotham Island Halloween Event 2017, p.2

Welcome!

Hi there and welcome to Freebie Hunters! One of our favorite pastimes in Second Life is scouting the grid for fantastic hunts, sales, events and gifts from all the wonderful creators. We thought we'd share the wealth and showcase some of our finds in this blog, with an emphasis on the goodies available in various SL events and hunts. We do our best to show ALL items from a hunt/event and in the manner the creator intended, but this is not always possible.

***UPDATE August, 2018- We are still finding freebie/nearly free items to share with you, but due to RL time constraints, a lot of what we find is being posted solely on Flickr. If you would like to follow the events being posted there, here is a link to the album page for our account: Flickr Albums. These are not blog posts, but simply pictures of the gifts available. Thank you!

Thank You to all of the creators!

Gotham Island Halloween Event 2017, p.2

I'm back with a few more items from the Gotham Island event raising money for the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Disease. That is a gigantic mouthful of a title for an amazing charity event going on during the month of October here in Second Life. The staff behind the event have really pulled out all the stops in making this a must-visit event. I was fortunate enough to get to wander around the event before it opened to the public (yay for no crowds!) and they have put together a gorgeous venue.

You land in the shopping district, which is full of stores and the raffle/silent auction areas. There are maps at several locations throughout the event, and you can check them for where to find your favorite stores. Also, they have kind of split the designers into fashion related stores on one side and home decor type stuff on the other. That makes it easy to find exactly what you are looking for. I did not get a chance yet to investigate the asylum or haunted house, but I did take a walk through the cemetery and midway. Halloween in SL is one of my favorite times and being able to combine exploring spooky places with shopping makes the event something you can enjoy whether you are flying solo or with a group - there is so much to see and do, it would be easy to spend a few hours there just checking everything out.

Did I mention there is a hunt too, as if all the other stuff going on wasn't enough? The designers have put out candy corn - some in their shops, some scattered around the sim, all filled with goodies for those of you who love the challenge of finding the sneaky bits of candy. The hunt items are 10L, but the money is for a good cause and from what I have seen, the designers have come up with some really creative gifts for you to find. I will continue posting about the event throughout the month as I get more goodies to share with you. Hope to see you there supporting this great event!
