for the summer festival, the mazekeeper offered 2 quests, both to be completed in the maze itself.  i was only able to finish one, seeking the maze.  the objective is to find 6 objects within the maze before the timer runs out.

as the objectives point out, using the right entrance is key.  then it is just a matter of running thru the maze trying to find the objects.  first one i ran across was the painting of the swordfish.  it was relatively easy, being just off the entrance lane at the first turning.  the rest were not so easy!

i did, obviously, find the mushroom cluster, the green topped mushroom, the dolphin mural, the small brown mushroom, and the right park benches (there are several sets scattered about).  along the way, i met the fireworks seller and the food merchant, and chatted with the raffle master.

after finding the objects, i quickly ran to the end of the maze to speak with the maze keeper's husband, so he could give me my reward.

i ran back, hoping i would have enough time to do the running the maze quest, but i was unable to, and i couldn't get back into game before the end of the festival to try again.

that is, unfortunately, as far as i could get on the summer festival!

next time, i will be doing either the order shard's holiday fun (if i get the screenies done in time) or continuing with some high level content stuff!!  it will be as much a surprise to me as it will be for you!  ;-}p

catch ya then!
