Just a few short days until the Patriot Day Event! Get your themed costumes ready and come on out to Galaxy City!
Just a quick note. The Patriotic themed CC is for all patriots. Contestants do not have to be American themed patriots.
Bright and Shiny,
American Wonder
To expound a bit on the themes for the Costume Contests:
Civil Servant: Everyday heroes like firemen, policemen, etc
Patriotic: A patriot themed costume; as Wonder pointed out this does not have to be an American themed costume; we recognize patriotism in all forms.
Heroic: The best overall hero costume from the male and female category.
As I am sure most of you have noticed by now; Issue 21 is coming next week!
This Saturday's Patriot Day Event is the 8th event that we have held in Galaxy City over the past several years; and with the imminent bombing of Galaxy it will be a fitting farewell to the Galaxy City zone that has served us so well. So everyone come out; honor patriotism; and honor Galaxy!
next week? i gotta keep up on the news more. will they be running pre-i21 events to set things up?
I'd love to see screenies of the event. Sadly, I gotta work until 9pm EST, so the All-American Kid will miss a lot of the event, if not all of it.
We are about one hour and fifteen minutes away from the Patriot March and then the launch of our event! Hope to see lots of you out there!
I hope everyone enjoyed the event! Winners, etc will be posted in a little bit.
