🎇 Independence Day is a pretty big deal in Dunhaven and much of the town gets into the spirit of things. Many of the shops and restaurants have deals, the carnival is still going, and there's a street dance on Main Street that starts at 7PM and goes until midnight. The fireworks display at dusk can't be missed -- literally. There's barely a place in town that can't see the fireworks lighting up the sky in some way.

🛏️ As a promotion, Cozy Cottage B&B is awarding a weekend (three days, two nights) getaway at their establishment for two lucky couples! The weekends can be used at any time between now and the end of the year. VOLUNTEER 1: Liam Perkins VOLUNTEER 2:

🤒 Some kind of summer bug is making its way through town. It's basically just a summer cold, but that doesn't make it any easier to deal with. If you catch it, expect a handful of days of a stuffy nose, cough, and maybe even a low fever that leaves you just feeling exhausted. Luckily it seems to pass by soon enough.

👗 Held at the Dunhaven Hotel is the local Dunhaven Women's Club's first annual banquet and ball. Tickets are $30 each and includes your meal and drinks for the evening.

🍖 The Dunhaven Fire Department and Police Department join forces to raise money for their various needs and programs. Come on down to the station (they're right next to each other, so it doesn't really matter which station you're aiming for) and buy a plate of barbecue that comes with all the fixings. All proceeds are being split between the two departments -- and you're free to make a non-food purchase donation as well, if you want.

🍝 Today is National Lasagna Day and Fontana's is taking advantage of the lesser celebrated holiday by introducing a food challenge to their menu. In 90-minutes, you have to eat a dish of spaghetti, grilled sausage, lasagna, chicken parmesan, baked ziti, cheese manicotti, and fettuccini alfredo, a bowl of their house vegetable soup, a side salad, garlic bread, and their famous tiramisu. In total, it comes to just over seven pounds of food. If you finish, your meal is free and you get your name and a picture on the hall of fame for bragging rights! VOLUNTEER 8 (Beau Alderman) & 9: Maybe you just really like pasta or maybe your stomach is truly bottomless. Whatever the case, you successfully put the whole meal away. Congrats!
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 10: Bridget Grant VOLUNTEER 11: VOLUNTEER 12: VOLUNTEER 13:
😁 You find yourself on the right end of Dunhaven's gossip train! Maybe you were seen doing some good deed for a neighbor and word of mouth left it sounding like a much bigger deal than it was -- or maybe you actually did something particularly great! Maybe someone just found out about a new relationship or exciting event in your life. Whatever the case, you're the talk of the town. Expect some extra smiles and maybe even a coffee or pastry on the house at various establishments as you enjoy your 15 minutes of positive fame. 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 14: VOLUNTEER 15: VOLUNTEER 16: VOLUNTEER 17:
A handful of teenagers decided to bring it upon themselves to flamingo a bunch of yards this month. No one is sure where they got so many plastic flamingos, but when you wake up one morning this month, you'll look out in your front yard and see that it is just full of a flock of flamingos.
