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.
