Hello all! Happy Ardortide !
Harris has been tasked with helping organize festivities, but since this holiday spans multiple days, we may have some events that are ongoing, repeated, or are shuffled to the next day.
Very open to suggestions for the schedule if critters have ideas! Feel free to post here to arrange hosting your own activity. (You need not match the suggested theme)
Plan for the biggest part of the celebration to be on NOV 14th, the next coming pirate event day!
More casual events will take place on week days.
Event location will be on the westernmost beach, Seashell Shore.
Most of the events will be outside on the beach itself- but critters may take shelter in the burrow with the moth sign in the event of stormy weather.
As a reminder the IC holiday dates vs IRL dates are as follows:
Ardortide: 1 Zenith - 23 Zenith (Nov 11, 1PM EST - Nov 17, 7AM EST)
The festivities Harris are organizing will largely take place at 8:00 PM or later.
