SL Home and Garden Expo 2014

This year’s Home and Garden Expo’s theme is Story Time, and promises to be an exciting and enriching two weeks with many opportunities for residents to participate.

2014 also marks the 7th anniversary of the Expo and with it there are new additions to the line up, including a new program called “Letters from Expo”, a new treasure hunt, “The Get Around Expo Hunt“, classes, gachas and more.

Here is a brief summary from the official press release:

Home and Garden Expo 2014, benefitting RFL of SL, opens on September 16, and runs through the 28th. Spread over nine sims, HGE features the finest in Second Life Home and Garden design product and creator tools. Over 85 participating creators have joined HGE, one of the first mega-events of the 2015 Relay For Life fundraising drive in Second Life.

Relay For Life of Second Life is in its tenth season, as Second Life residents across the grid band together to raise funds for Relay For Life and the American Cancer Society. The funds raised go to finance cancer research. During the 2014 season, RFL of SL broke the $415,000.00 USD mark for total funds raised.

That is pretty amazing when you think about it.

I had a chance to tour each of the sims last night and took a few snappies of some of my favorite exhibits. There is so much to explore and do and see!
