A May Day Celebration
May 2nd, 2009

All our lives we have been fighting for honor, chivalry, duty, and glory. We have dared to dream and be something more. Now we have the possibility and privilege to fight for something greater than ourselves. We can fight for hope.

Saturday May 2nd from 11 am to 4 pm join us in the Shire of Misty Highlands as we take up arms and ally with the American Cancer Society, HealthSouth Mountainview and the Morgantown Learning Academy Fencing Club in their fight against Cancer. This is our 4th annual benefit for the American Cancer Society. We have risen over $2000 in the past four years to benefit ACS. So this year bring your pomp and pageantry, and a few friends.

There will be a heavy weapons tournament as a fundraiser. Entry fee for the tourney is $10. It is round-robin format so everyone gets plenty of fighting! The fencing tournament will be held in the same manner. We have plenty of opportunity for arts and sciences. Come teach, share or display your arts. There is usually media present so pavilions are welcome and pageantry please!

There is no feast but there will be a food vendor on site. This site is bone dry.

Overnight accommodations are available at local hotels for a discounted rate, if you contact me before checking in. I recommend Euro suites, it is within walking distance of site and for a single room is $50 per night with the HealthSouth discount. To get your coupon early e-mail me with your address. There are several other reasonably priced hotels in the area as well.

Site will open for setup at 10:00 am. This is a Demo style event, where all funds raised will go to benefit the Relay for Life. There is no site fee!!! We have space for A&S displays and classes. Please contact the demo coordinator, Lady Captain Gwyneth McClellan, if you have any questions.
