 S A T U R D A Y , O C T . 2 2 ━ to ━ W E D N E S D A Y , N O V . 2The weather's getting cooler, the trees are getting barer, and the nights are getting longer, but don't worry, NSTGers: we'll have your heart-rates sky-high in no time!
Join us on Saturday, October 22nd to hop onboard this year's trick- and treat-filled Halloween Hayride, which boasts almost half a trillion gold in prizes!
On this Hayride, we'll be making a few stops: you can test your writing skills in a haunted cemetery, compete for cool items around a bonfire, purchase some raffle tickets at a pumpkin patch, and more! There are plenty of options to accommodate the needs of everyone aboard (yes, including the scaredy-cats among us *coughs* me *cough*).
Bring your scarves, friends -- it'll be a bumpy, but worthwhile, ride! cat_wink

S A T U R D A Y , O C T . 2 2 ━ to ━ W E D N E S D A Y , N O V . 2 Y'all, I am shook. With all of these clowns casually chillin' in the woods, I understand your fear of jumping on some little hayride just a week before Halloween, but I promise: if some Bozo jumps in front of the NSTG's Halloween Hayride, I'm flooring the gas pedal*. (Kidding! Sort of.) But if you muster up the courage to buckle up and join us, we've got lots of tricks and treats set up for you: gaia_nitemareleft Over half a trillion gold gold in prizes,
gaia_nitemareleft A Barnyard Bash, where you can slay (with fashion),
gaia_nitemareleft Two castles, trick-or-treating, a cemetery, and other stops,
gaia_nitemareleft A spooky little Fairy on the loose...
gaia_nitemareleft And no dead bodies! Click the banner above to visit the Holiday Events subforum, where the event is taking place. We invite you to read through the Front Desk, which contains a list of rules and links to different event activities. See you soon, little ghouls! *The NSTG does not endorse homicide. Not even of clowns.

T H A N K ━ Y O U ━ A L L I just wanted to take a moment to thank everyone who attended last night's Barnyard Bash! We played three games, had a raffle, and hosted two avatar contests: in total, almost 50 billion gold in prizes was won! Said prizes will be distributed to y'all in the days to come. Click the banner above to visit the information thread if you've got questions or comments to share.
As you can see from the picture below, we had an incredible time with friends old and new. (And no clowns appeared, thank God.)
Shout-out Lady Kikila and IchigoNeko23 for doing such an exceptional job in planning for the Bash; you two put so much work and love into its planning and execution. Thank you so much. Finally, these get-togethers happen because of volunteers like these two ladies; if you love our Towns parties and seasonal events, please consider applying to the Crewmember Assistance Program; we would love to have you onboard. Have an awesome Saturday, everyone! Stay safe and stay spooky.
