[MR] A Day by the Black Sea!

[Elizabeth Moss]

The dark days of ice and snow are finally giving way to spring's welcomed
warmth and joys!

 The Canton of Kappellenburg invites you to a long day of revelry to
celebrate the thaw.

Join us May 11th at Optimists' Farm for a Russian May Day!


On the shores of the Black Sea, Mother Russia presents to you her renowned
hospitality:

Fighting! Tournaments in heavy and rapier, spilling blood to nourish the
young grass of May! Feasting! A Russian-themed repast, an assemblage of
alimentary amazements, a deluge of delightful delectables, overseen by the
incomparable chef de cuisine, Margaret Chochrane Festivity!  The
entertaining antics of a wandering Commedia dell'Arte troupe, a display of
the sublime Arts and Sciences, and a traditional dance around the May-pole
to herald the advance of spring!

Optimist farm is a handicap-accessible, wet site. Bring your friends and
your drink, and party like a true Russian! Pets are also allowed--we
welcome your hounds and huskies! Kindly constrain your conflagrations to
the fire pit. The festivities last only for a day.

Site is open from 8am to 10pm, but there will be no camping.

Reservations must be to the Reservationist by May 6th
