Beltaine....
In case anybody reads this but doesn't get the email list or the Facebook updates...
We have registration info for the upcoming Stone City Beltaine Festival. There will be more details to come on the ritual aspects of the gathering, but we wanted to get the basic info out to you so you can plan ahead. Please pre-register - we rely on registration money to pay up-front costs to put this together, and need to know how many ribbons to hang on the May Tree!
