"The Raiders have mixed it up this year, offering Second Life's residents a new experience."

In response to all of you, this year's event will span 9 SIMs and feature over 170 of Second Life's shining stars.

Side Note: The Relay Raiders would like to pay special tribute to Pips Fetid as the Clothing Fair's creator.
