Lupercalia is coming fast! Feast preparations are coming along well. It will be a viking style feast featuring pickled fish and things and reindeer! The site tokens - small cloth coin pouches and two "Bart coins" as seed money - and feast tokens - rings stamped with "Lupercalia" are completed. The Shire children did a lion's share in the work of creating the coins and rings.
The activities throughout the day will pay out "money", medieval coins that will be used as currency to bid on donated items in an auction before feast. The more guests participate in the day, the more "money" they acquire. We have decided that as the hosts of this festivity, we will be exempt from participating in the auction. (Sorry, if this disappoints.)
The site is at the Nicollet Legion as always. Set up will be Friday, February 20th at 6:30 pm. We need your muscles! Be there or be square!
