May Fair
(2014-05-10 - Site opens at 9 AM & Closes at 10 PM)
Kapellenberg
The fell beast Winter bites and claws, loath to give up his chill grip on Atlantian skies. (For his tenacity we might well blame the Lord Wistric, who saw fit to usher in the Rag\'narok.)Yet fair Lady Spring, in her raiment of green and white, with warm and gentle grace melts his icy hold. Even the most stubborn resistance will not hold long against the season’s ebb.
As sleet and hail give way to sweet April showers, the better to nourish the darling buds of May, Atlantians rejoice with feast and festival. Upon Kappellenberg\'s green, on the 10th of that lovely month, celebrants gather to welcome the vernal cornucopia. Games, frivolities, and all the abundance of the carnival find their home at May Fair.
