Sunbeamer Medieval Fun Faire/Country Music Event In Caledon Downs

 

 

from Oldesoul

Over the weekend, much attention was on the upcoming Relay Walk, which was only a week away, with numerous teams getting their camps ready. But some teams were still squeezing in some last events. Among them, Team Sunbeamers, which had it's Medieval Fun Fair on Saturday June 1, hosted by Cynthia Farshore. But it wouldn't be all Medieval.

 

from Oldesoul

Everyone I remind you that at the Sunbeamer Medieval Fun Fair we are going a bit modern with a great show, the Country Rebels a Garth Brooks cover in one hour, 3pm.

 

The Newser wasn't there until later in the event, but Oldesoul got some pictures of  Cynthia DJing for the crowd. The Country Rebels were also scheduled to perform, but there were some technical difficulties. There was a stage, presumable supplied by the Rebels. But when the Newser got there, the stage was taken down and people were dancing around on the floor. Over 11,000 L was raised in the music part of the event.

 

Besides the music, there were a number of activities one would expect from a ren-faire, such as jousting, axe throwing, and a steeplechase horse race. There was at least one prize given out: a medieval style battle axe.

 

A number of other teams sent someone to the event, such as Purple Tears, the Second Life Cheerleading Squad, Team ACTS, and Roos With A Dream.

The final Sunbeamer event, the last Moon Dance, will be taking place on Thursday, June 6, at 6 PM, in Sunweaver Space.

 

Addition: We originally stated the Country Rebels performed, but heard there were some technical difficulties. Cynthia stated from 10 to 12 Noon, DJ Kayala and the Roos performed and raised 12,000 for Roos With A Dream. The faire raised a total of $16,345 for the Sunbeamers. The archery and axe throwing contests were won by Wateru Kohime.

Go Sunbeamers! Go Relay!

RFL Sunbeamers, Roos With A Dream, Teams Level Up After Medieval Fun Faire

 

 

On Saturday May 6, the Relay for Life teams Sunbeamers and Roos With A Dream held the Medieval Fun Faire at Caledon Downs. There were numerous activities from axe throwing to archery to racing. The high point was the concert at the end with DJ Kayla and the Roos.

While the event had somewhat light attendance, it did raise quite a bit of cash, thanks in part to some remote donations. A total of 170,826 Linden dollars was raised between the two teams, the Sunbeamers making 94,198 L and the Roos With A Dream getting 76,628 Lindens. This bumped the Sunnies to over 750K, and making Sapphire rank, and the Roos past a half million and into Jade. As of now on the team totals page (leaving out the Sci-Fi con), the Sunbeamers are number nine of 173 teams, and the Roos number 15.

RFL Team Sunbeamers Make Sapphire

 *

Yesterday was the Relay for Life's Team Sunbeamer's "Medieval Fest" event. The event was fun with rides, archery and axe-throwing competitions, a joust competition (Dusk Griswold won), kissing booths, jail and bails, and a performance by "Roos With A Dream's" DJ Kayla. Plenty of cash was raised. But one huge donation sent things over the 750,000 Linden dollar mark, and into Sapphire rank. 

As Alison Flow of the 'Roos put it, This event raised over 100k, shared by two teams. That sounds nice. ... the fair raised 107K for Relay for Life." A little over 90,000 Lindens went to the Sunbeamers. The 17,000 Lindens the 'Roos raised pushed them into Diamond level fundraising. 

That night, the Sunbeamers would get their Sapphire badge, which was put on display at Cutlass.

As of now, the Sunbeamers are number 12 of 133 teams. The 'Roos are number six. Fifth is One More Light. Fourth is Cure Chasers. Third is The River of Life. Second is Camping For A Cure. And the top team, and only All-Star ranked one, is The Adult Partnership.

Go Sunbeamers! Go Relay!

Hopefest And The Opening of The Relay Track

 Yesterday, Wednesday June 9, was the start of the Hopefest. While technically it last for five days, it's often thought of as the three days before the Relay Weekend (Saturday June 12 and Sunday June 13). One event was the Hopefest Medieval in RFL Cure, which included events like jous4ing.

Also going on was Bellisseria for RFL Hopefest, which had live musicians such as Zax Claxton, taking place in RFL Hope.

Besides the events, there was of course the various team campsites and their exhibits that were now open to the public. And there was much to see. 

More to come.
