Stars of the West – Shootout Event
Saddle up your horses and ride down to Aurora Gulch for an old fashioned showdown with the Stars of the West! It’s going to get dusty with the stampeede of avatars expected to show up for tonight’s event. Make sure to sign up early.
There’s so much to do during this two hour western event! Grab your trusty steed and race other cowboys, avoid a deadly bite at rattle snake round up, dosey doe with your partner at the saloon, show off your marksmanship in a good old fashioned shoot out, toss around a hot horseshoe, sing hymns at church and hope you don’t land in jail for the night. These great events and much more planned for your enjoyment.

In addition to the carnival rides and spectacular events planned for the evening, this is your opportunity to come out and meet the Phoenix Stars! Who are the Phoenix Stars? They are a group of dedicated Thereians who assist and welcome new members to our community. They help facilitate the new member experience and show new folks all the great and wonderful things our awesome virtual world has to offer. With the recent Free Basic Trial option there are lots of new folks entering There. Free Trials do not have the ability to communicate with other members, but they are able to talk and interact with Phoenix Stars! You may have come across a new member in-world and have wanted to help them out, but weren’t able to communicate with them. The Circus of the Stars event is a great way to meet Phoenix Stars and add them to your buddy list so that you can call on them in the future to help with new members!
We look forward to seeing you at the Circus of the Stars event at Tropical Adventures on Saturday night! Make sure to pick up some of the specialty items created specifically for this fantastic big top event!
