Hamster Festival is here for 2024! A festival devoted to Beetlebones Dwarf Hamster avatars, but the hamster is optional and it's full of general fun things! Hamster parties sometimes happen, and they are very welcoming to avatars of all heights and species! I love Hamfest, and I look forward to it every year, a celebration of the fun possible in SL.
This year I'm giving away these little ceramic figurines. They are inspired by the fox figurines (as well as some other types, but foxes are the most common) at Shrines, but this time, they are hamsters. Hamstar Shrine, which was signing Goshuin during the New Year Goshuin Project event had little tiny stone hamsters out at their hokora, reminding me that ceramic ones might be desirable as well! Clean and dirty, PBR and non PBR textures (you might even want to mix the two types of textures for things that look just a little different if you want to put a number of them out), they will fallback to non PBR textures on non PBR viewers if set to use PBR textures. 1 LI each, with or without a base or pedestal, pairs in one object on pedestals also included.
This year,
Hamster Festival is open July 28 at 5am SLT to August 17 at 8am SLT. (It operates on Japan time.)
There is also a
Summer Goshuin Event running August 1 - 14, go around SL visiting Shrines and Temples, collecting the stamps! The Hamster Festival Shrine is not an official stop (it is not on the list, but there are a few places around that aren't on the list that are offering this currently), but you can get your book stamped at it too!
