WHERE?	WHAT?	WHEN?
	BRIGHID’S BLESSING BUSH Come celebrate an old Imbolc tradition from the "West Country". Tie a pretty ribbon on the bush and ask for Brighid’s Blessing. Have a care what you wish for. It may come true!	Starts Jan 31 and runs throughout the festival
	PARTY AT THE TRISKELION TAVERN Join us for a rollicking party at The Trisk. Fen and Mac will be serving the drinks and Jacques will be serving up some more of his fine music. Come early! Stay Late! Have a good time!	Feb 1 – Starts around 6PM and runs until everyone runs out of steam.
	HERBAL QUIZ AT AIRMID’S WELL While your wandering about the Tara Marketplace, stop by Airmid’s Well and show us how much you know about herbal remedies and such. Lady Moss and her friends have cooked up a tough one!	Feb 1 – 2.
	MANACH MISQUOTES AT BEITHE’S BOOKSTORE Match wits with Keir Manach and his famous "Manach Misquotes". Stop by the store and see if you can figure out "who" said "what".	Feb 1 – 2.
	ZORBIE’S MAGIC ACT (Zorbie the Zombie – Pt, 2) Catch Zorbie and Stewellen in the second half of his revolutionary magic act. The big question is, will he be around to enjoy the show? Not many folks can survive the guillotine!	Feb 1 – 2.
	BAINE’S LUCKY CHARMS Be sure to stop by Baine’s and check out her newest shipment of charms and philtres. Got a problem with luck? Go see Baine! Got a problem with love? Go see Baine! Got no problems? Go see Baine, anyway!	Feb 1 – 2.
	IMBOLC DRUIDIC PROCESSION Your are hereby requested to gather at the Tara Festival Grounds. Ruis Niafer and Flidhais Brigantes will lead the crowd from there to Brighid’s Shrine at Cill Dara. There, they will hold the "Blessing of the Animals". So gather up your herds and flocks. We’ll wend our way past braes and lochs Grab your mate or an old pair of socks. You see, there’s an old tradition of tossing something useless and worn out into Brighid’s Bonfire. This is also an ideal place to get rid or old yule greenery!	Feb 3 Time – 8 PM (AW Time)
	WHICH BRIGHID ARE YOU? The Goddess Brighid manifests herself in the form of three earthly avatars; Maiden, Mother, and Crone. In these three aspects, she holds sway over a wide variety of human activities and crafts. Fenian and Jacques have put together a little something to help you determine which aspect is best suited to you. Come find out in Cill Dara.	Jan 31 – Feb 4.
	BARDIC CHALLENGE – HONOR THE WARRIOR Among other things, Brighid is the patron of the fighting man (or woman). Come put your literary skills to use. Write a poem or a story about your favorite hero or battle. A brag or a boast about your own skills as a fighter would also be appropriate.	Jan 31 – Feb 4.
	THE FIRE OF THE GODDESS Two of our Celtia Scribes have been plotting something in the back room. So far, they’ve managed to keep it a big, deep, dark secret. Come see what Sweet Kate and Miss Vixy have cooked up for our Imbolc fun!	Jan 31 – Feb 4.
	CEILI AT BRIGHID’S BRIUDEAN Come join our "End-of-Fest" party at Brighid’s Bruidean. Fun, food, Dance and Drink… all served up by our three lovely Celtia Scribes. With this trio on board, we never know just what to expect! Don’t miss it!	Feb 4 6 PM (AW Time).
