Grand tour.
After a year on hiatus, The Grand Tour returns to second life! The “All Aboard Grand Tour” will be Saturday and Sunday, February 19 and 20, 2011.  The tour includes 15 different locations with a theme of trains and transportation.
-
The Grand Tour began in 2007 as a positive  expression  after some unpopular decisions by Linden Lab left many residents discouraged.  A few people got together and created the marathon event. The All Aboard Grand Tour is the fifth tour. The creator of the event, Fogwoman Gray, summarizes the purpose, which had become the motto of all grand tours: “To bring all nations and groups together to demonstrate why we stay and what is important.
-
The tour this year includes exciting new events including music festivals, mysteries and even a hobo ball. The full schedule is listed below. Landmarks are available in world, and at each venue. Everyone is invited to jump on the tour wherever and whenever  they wish.  All time zones should find some events that are convenient; we are looking forward to greeting both old and new friends. Co chairs, or this year’s “Gandy Dancers” Breezy Carver and Rose Springvale will be available throughout the tour to answer questions, deal with problems and keep the Grand Tour Train on track. All Aboard!
