CCSF 2006

Introduction

The Creatures Community Spirit Festival 2006 celebrated the 10th anniversary of the Creatures series and, strangely enough, the spirit of the Creatures Community. The festival's coordinators were Don and Liam, with lots of help from malkin, KnyteTrypper, Moe and Erin.

The main events started on Sunday, July 31st, 2006 and ran for approximately 2 months. The festival theme was Celebration and Surprise.
