Celtic Cattle Raids 4
(2006-09-22 - 2006-09-24 - Site opens at 5 PM & Closes at 1 PM)
Nimenefeld
Those loathsome Northmen are at it AGAIN. Here we are minding our business raising our cattle and they come back in the middle of the night and steal our female cattle. I have to say the Bulls are really upset now. No milk, no cheese, no butter and no feminine companionship for our male bovines (if you know what I mean.) So get up, get up I say oh sons and/or daughters of Eire. We have to protect our land and the honor of our girl cows from the evil, nasty, cruel, unhygienic, bad guys with icky hairy backs. Fighting for the honor of a good heifer, what could be better in life!?! (Ok, don't even go there) So gird whatever the heck you want to gird but be quick about it, don your Celtic garb, and join with the Canton of Nimenefeld and our bulls in a day of snorting and fighting and help us get back our cowgirls.

What's New: We wanted to make sure everyone herd. This event has a reputation as a great event to bring newcomers to. We would like to encourage this point of view. We love newcomers.
We have new and improved facilities for the teens and the tweens. These are two age groups that often fall through the cracks at events. So for both groups we're going to provide tents where they can gather with their peers and play games or just hang out. We encourage kids and/or their parents to bring games, cards, etc. Yes the tents will be guard ... er, supervised by Lady Gisela von Kreuzbach (Kate Smith)
