Trying to determine when it would be best to run stuff for this. Have had a lot of great suggestions for events so far, including
Kissing booth
Bonfire Jumping
Wrasslin'
Hammer Throwing
Archery
Drinking
Puzzles/Challenges
Want to try to make it so the most people who want to participate can. Please select any of the dates shown here that you would be able to play.
Also if you have more ideas of events to run please post them here.
I've left Easter weekend off because that usually is busy with family.
Thanks,
Daphne

I'm rather biased towards the weekend of the 4th-6th, as I work the weekend of the 28th-30th.

There are also many deities that have religious events tied to the Greengrass. The faithful of Chauntea sponsors a rather boisterous fertility party. The followers of Mielikki have the Wild Hunt, where nature lovers ride unicorns across the forest. It is a sacred day for Sune. The followers of Talos pray for wild storms and lightning. That's just a few examples - if some religious types want to organize something for their faith, we can certainly support those activities as well. Just post who and what...

OK, look like there we have enough interest for the last weekend in March and the first weekend in April to do stuff then. Will start planning an opening ceremony thing and a schedule of events. Will work with as many PC organizers as possible - so if your group or religion or whatever has an event they would like to stage/sponsor, please post! I'll try to include silly stuff as well as religious and challenges and things of that nature...

I will likely try and do two events one from Valar and one from Iy, or rather will try and get Iy to organise something from the naturely folks to honour some of those faiths mentioned.

Have we decided on a date and time for this, so I can plan accordingly? There is a mostly player-ran event that some were going to do after the festival.
