Feast of St.Pyr
(2009-03-14 - Site opens at 10 AM & Closes at 11 PM)
Black Diamond
The Feast of Saint Pyr has become an annual event to celebrate the life and amusements of our most favored saint, St. Pyr (520 AD). Since he was known for his love of imbibing, which eventually led to him falling down a well and drowning, we take this opportunity to celebrate brewing in its many forms, as well as other forms of the Arts and Sciences. Come one and all to celebrate with us in a day of classes, competition, eating, toasting, and dancing. Scrolls and Brewing head up the competitions with classes and fellowship during the day. Dancing and revelry are scheduled for the evening activities. In keeping with our most honored saint’s modesty and piety, we are offering a light fare (as to not slow the toasting and dancing) with a simple feast of breads, butters, cheese, and soups. Feast is limited to 70 gentles.
