Norse Midwinter's Night
Through the frigid air and snowy landscape, Lies a small village. From this village rings the joyful sound of Yule tide cheer and the sent of delicious food. Festive decorations about the village brings warmth and good feelings all around. Bellowing laughter and merriment come from the Great Hall at the edge of town.
You fling open the great doors of the hall and you see the most splendid revel your eyes have ever gazed upon. You see warriors fighting over the last wheel of cheese.
You marvel at small children playing with a dragon. On the table you see a feast so vast and scrumptious, that your mouth waters. Lastly you view men and women chasing each other around a stump. Which is quite peculiar. You are welcomed in to join the festivities and joy that only Caer Galen can provide.
We will raise our glass and celebrate with good friends and family. There will be combat (Fencing, and Heavy Suit The Last Wheel Cheese), dancing, games, delicious food, festive Norse garb contest, silent auction for Royal Tavel Fund. and of course Caer Galen Musical chairs! We will also hold the Captain of the Guard tournament and the Harp of Caer Galen.
Midwinter is to be held at the Broomfield United Methodist Church on Saturday December 15th, from 10am-9:30pm. (website coming soon)
