May Days

May 30 – June , 2008
Shire of Windwyrm
Lethbridge, AB

The Shire of Windwyrm invites all to join us in our annual celebration of rebirth & renewal in the month of May.Ladies may take part in the choosing of our May Queen, who will choose her Green Man for the traditional May Pole dance. Engage in honourable combat, be it armoured or rapier, with worthy opponents. Practice your archery skills, become a sheep herder for a weekend, or show off your abilities in performance or the arts. May Days is an informal, relaxed weekend event to start the beginning of the camping season. Our site is both spacious and verdant, with little to detract from a period atmosphere.
