Once again it is time to call our mighty Defenders
Spring, and the Festival of Cerealia, is upon us! Join the Shire of Mountain Edge in celebrating Cerealia, honoring Ceres with games of combat!
With the return of spring comes a call to all great warriors. Our Heavy and Rapier Defenders have served faithfully, defending our fair lands for the last year. To find their successors and to honor Ceres, a pair of tournaments will be held for our Ludi Ceriales (Games of Ceres): one for the Heavy Fighters, one for the Rapier Fighters. Come show your skill and prove you have what it takes to be a Defender of Mountain Edge.
The site is located just off OR-47 and includes restrooms, a playground, 2 pavilions, and picnic tables. If you require more comfortable seating, you will need to bring it your self. Most of the activities areas are paved.
The Shire will provide bottled water and prepackaged snacks.
