This is a far cry from the days when my post on the official forums about Fantasy Faire was deleted by a moderator and I received a warning &#8230; I really should let bygones be bygones on this &#8230;. but it still irks me!<\/p>\n<p>However back to the Faire, it will be running from May 1st, (which is a rather special day in my calendar and one on which I&#8217;m a year older than I was yesterday) to May 11th. The event will be very busy, at some times maybe a little too busy but that&#8217;s the beauty and beast of such events.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Whereas you can teleport directly to the sims at the Faire a good place to start is at Fairelenads junction.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Fairelands Portals by Ciaran Laval, on Flickr\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/ciaran_laval\/14104317523\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/farm3.staticflickr.com\/2930\/14104317523_483a43d702.jpg?resize=500%2C298&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Fairelands Portals\" width=\"500\" height=\"298\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>SLURL :\u00a0<a title=\"SLURL To Fairelands Junction\" href=\"http:\/\/maps.secondlife.com\/secondlife\/Fairelands%20Junction\/145\/128\/21\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/maps.secondlife.com\/secondlife\/Fairelands%20Junction\/145\/128\/21<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The portals give you a glimpse into what may lie ahead and you click on them to teleport to each sim.

There is also a hunt sim.<\/p>\n<p>However let&#8217;s not forget that as well as catering to Second Life roleplayers and those who like to explore Second Life, Fantasy Faire is also part of the Relay For Life drive in Second Life and therefore has very noble aims.<\/p>\n<p>My only real complaint about Fantasy Faire is that it&#8217;s not open for long enough!
