June Events!
Hello friends! As you probably remember, we did make a list of different events that are taking place in June a few days ago. However, we've expanded that calendar some to include some new events, so we're reposting it here! As you'll see, there are some events that only effect a certain group of people, some that hit the whole town, and others that are for volunteers. For those that have volunteers, we ask that you only claim one or two each right away for your characters; after a couple of days, we'll open it up again so you can take more, but we want to make sure everyone gets a chance to claim stuff right off the bat.
As always, if you have any ideas for plots like this going forward, please let us know! We're always open to suggestions and love to get feedback from all of you.
☀️ JUNE EVENTS
1
🎲 Today is International Tabletop Day and to celebrate, Roll of the Die is having a massive sale on pretty much everything in the store! Come on in for great deals on comics, games, figures, and dice! There will also be several events throughout the day, including D&D sessions and Magic tournaments.
1 - 2
🌻 Spring Arts & Crafts Show. Held in Ravens Park during the first full weekend in June, the town hosts a two-day arts and crafts fair. Vendors from all over come to show off their wares to visitors from just as far around.
⚔️ Renaissance Faire. Beginning the first full weekend of June and running through July is the Dunhaven Renaissance Faire, which is held on their grounds near the edge of town. Come down for some mead and enjoy the magic and chivalry as it comes to life before your eyes.
2
🏫 Graduation for public/private schools.
3 - 7
🚧 Though Main Street is still open, expect some delays (unless you take a route around) due to some much needed street repair. It's a smooth ride once all those potholes and cracks are taken care of.
4
💒 Eve Ritter and Niall Malone's wedding.
5
🎂 Lucas Marlow's birthday.
📚 Congratulations! You are the 500th customer at Chapter One this month! As a reward, you get a $50 gift certificate to use at the store. Volunteer 1: Amanda Campbell

🍩 Today is National Doughnut Day! To celebrate, Java Chip is giving one of their "world famous" glazed donuts away with any purchase all day.
✈️ WRAV has been hyping up their vacation giveaway month for what feels like forever and today is week one of their giveaways -- this one to Orlando. Lucky for you, you called in and got qualified a few weeks ago -- only for you to receive a call this morning from Luke & Kiera letting you know that you had won! You are now the happy recipient of a week-long vacation for two to Disney, with hotel, airfare, and park passes included. You only have to schedule the vacation sometime before the end of 2019. Volunteer 2: Duncan Kane & Dottie Darling

💥 Dunhaven Roller Derby. Home against 301 Derby Dames.
🌈 Capital Pride Parade. Though not in Dunhaven proper, many from the local LGBTQ group go north to march in the parade!
10
🏗️ Ground is broken on a spot along the river for what will be luxury townhouse apartments. Construction is beginning immediately, with hope that they'll be available for citizens to rent and move in by fall. Some people in the town are unhappy about the addition, citing that the rent will be too high for the average person living in Dunhaven, the extra traffic in an otherwise quiet part of town, and the noise from the machines as they're built as reasons to be against them. Others are excited, looking forward to new housing opportunities and the potential for more Dunhavenites in their midst.

🌕 It's a full moon tonight and many people in town can't help but be put on edge as they keep hearing a howling... Of course, it's actually just someone's dog that got loose and kept howling up a storm around town as it wandered around before its owner found it, but still! Spooky?
🍝 A new restaurant opens called Fontana's Authentic Sicilian Cuisine (but usually just called Fontana's). The restaurant has a laid back atmosphere with a wide selection of options on the menu, though it quickly gets spread that their spaghetti and meatballs are particularly to die for. The volunteers are among the first twenty-five served and get a certificate for a free meal (appetizer, entree, dessert, and drinks all included) for two in the future! Just make sure that you use those vouchers before the end of July. Volunteer 4: Dahlia Liang Volunteer 5: Open Volunteer 6: Open
18-20
🔥 Due to some mechanical issues, the air-conditioning is out in the entire Arbor Crossing apartment complex. The property manager assures residents that it is being looked into, but it still takes three long days until the cool air returns. This would be less of an issue if it wasn't happening over the hottest three days of this summer yet. At least the pool is still open?
21
🎂 Sofia Nichols's birthday.
☕ WRAV has been hyping up their vacation giveaway month for what feels like forever and today is week three of their giveaways -- this one to Amsterdam.

🎂 Annie Nikolaev's birthday.
🥂 It's been ten years since the class of 2009 graduated from the various high schools in Dunhaven. What does that mean? A high school reunion, of course. Arranged by the various student leadership from the public and private schools way back then, the hotel has been taken over with dinner, drinks, and music for everyone to catch up and compare lives with old classmates.
24
🎂 Jude Campbell's birthday.

🐱 The animal shelter has had a recent influx of cats and lifts all adoption fees on them for this weekend only in hopes of getting them to loving furever homes. Come on down if you're looking to expand your family.
30
🎂 Tallulah Waters's birthday.
ANY DATE
😵 You find yourself on the wrong end of Dunhaven's gossip train. You're observed by the wrong nosy citizen and before you know it, everyone knows your business. Maybe it's something true, maybe it's something blown completely out of proportion. Whatever the case, you've found yourself getting second looks all over town. This can take place at any time and can involve the other volunteers or be on your own accord. If it involves another character that wasn't volunteered, just make sure you have their permission, of course. 😊 Volunteer 9: Benjamin Wolfe & Jasmine Reed Volunteer 10: Jude Campbell Volunteer 11: Open Volunteer 12: Open
ANY DATE
🃏 When you get your mail today, you find the regular stack of envelopes. Tucked in among them, though, is a single tarot card. Where did it come from? No one seems to know. Does it mean anything? Probably not. But you're well within your rights to be unsettled or curious. (In the end, they're just being planted randomly throughout the month as a bit of a prank by someone, but still.) Volunteer 13 - The Lovers: Viola Vance Volunteer 14 - The High Priestess: Open Volunteer 15 - Six of Swords: Open Volunteer 16 - The Fool: Mariela Rodriguez Volunteer 17 - Page of Cups: Cerys Ravenswood
