SunBurn
SunBurn is an annual regional event held in Florida. Radical
self-reliance and self-expression are the goals, and
community is emphasized. SunBurn has its roots in the annual
Burning Man festival in Nevada. Art, music, fire and other forms of creativity -- including performance art, large-scale temporary constructions and alternative engineering -- are welcome. There is no vending on site (not even ice) -- gifting among participants is encouraged, but cash transactions are forbidden (the proceeds from the admission fee go entirely to cover event expenses). Come prepared to feed, hydrate, clothe and shelter yourself for the duration. SunBurn is a
leave no trace event. As at Burning Man, all attendees are encouraged to participate in some way rather than being spectators to others' participation.

Sunburn
A sunburn is a
burn to living tissue such as
skin produced by overexposure to
ultraviolet (UV) radiation, commonly from the
sun's rays. Exposure of the skin to lesser amounts of UV will often produce a
suntan. Usual mild symptoms in humans and animals are red or reddish skin that is hot to the touch, general fatigue, and mild dizziness. Sunburn can be life-threatening and is a leading cause of
skin cancer. Sunburn can easily be prevented through the use of sunscreen, clothing (and hats), and by limiting solar exposure, especially during the middle of the day. The only cure for sunburn is slow healing, although skin creams can help.
