(2012-05-12 - Site opens at 09:00 AM & Closes at 10:00 PM)
Falconcree
This year the Canton of Falcon Cree celebrates the Feast of Saint Martha, the patron saint of the kitchen and domestic workers. That\'s right, we\'re celebrating the domestic divas! Come test your martial skills with defensive weapons from the kitchen. The martial activities are scheduled so you can do them all! Who can out-diva St. Martha? Let your domestic diva-hood shine in the A&S exhibit and competitions. At the day winds down, sate your appetite at the table with a divine feast prepared by le Souteneours du Glutonnerie - Above the Salt for those with the gourmand\'s appetite, and Below the Salt for those with simpler tastes.
