A party to send Neart out with a bang was held Friday at 5pm SLT. So many people turned up that the party was moved to the neighboring sim, County Cork.
Partygoers dance and chat at the edge of County Cork nearest NeartThe turn-out was not surprising considering how Neart is deeply embedded in surf history. Bobbi Laval organized the party, which also held a mini competition. The last competition to be surfed at Neart. Conall McGinnis of the West of Ireland Estates DJ'd the event, and did a damn fine job.
West of Ireland is a series of sims that, as the name somewhat implies, are inspired by Ireland. All proceeds from the sims' events benefit the War Child charity, and there are several donation bins available on a daily basis. It is due to the changing of how Linden Labs is charging charities for sims that led to the closing of Neart as reported by Kantbe Thursday previously on SurfWatch (See: Time to Say Goodbye to Another Old Friend)
The mini competition held was judged by Jordan Mendle and Wilfrid DeCuir. Harbor Piers took the final crown at Neart. Check out the rest of the results below:
1st: Harbor Piers - 8.25
2nd: Wicked Carver - 7.75
3rd: Avidward Flagon - 7.0
4th: Jayden Domennici - 6.75; Rayzza Rubble - 6.75; Figger Arun - 6.75
5th: Alexander Dreier - 6.5
