St Urho's Tourney
(2007-03-17 - Site opens at 9:00 AM & Closes at 11:00 PM)
Salesberie Glen
Know that long ago, in far Finland, the wine crop was threatened by hoards of Grasshoppers. Into the malstrom of Vinter's difficulty stepped a Giant of a Man, Urho, Mighty Urho, who with his pitchfork chased the evil Grasshoppers from all of Finland. Forever earning him the love and honor due a Finnish Saint..Saint Urho!!! His Heroic deed is commemorated every March the day before St Patricks Day (some 2nd rate Irish Saint). We, the members of House Taivassalama, hold a Wonderous Tournament in his honor WITH FABULOUS PRIZES!!!!
