I was reading at the Wikipedia entry on "Father's Day" and realized that, although the date differs across the 53 or so countries that celebrate it, most of the countries celebrate it on the "third Sunday of June".

The following video was created to demonstrate what our company did, for clients based in California.

The Alameda County sim hosts the first virtual polling place in Second Life. It is located inside a replica of the Oakland courthouse. The project is commissioned by Lynne Easterwood of Alameda County. All the buildings, interiors, devices, animations and effects in the video were all made by Avatrian LLC. Machitopia, Avatrian's sister company, produced the video.
