Moonshadow Mead Bar will be open for sale/trade Saturday Night and  
many other wild ferments will be explored. Our kitchen will be open to  
warm up food and to help cook.Saturday morning on the 12th, we will  
share a hearty breakfast, then don our work clothes and all strain  
together (many hands make light work!) to raise the beams for Alpen  
Glow–a village sized wood fired kiln which local ceramic artists will  
be welcome to utilize in partnership with Sassy Shadows; the tea  
lounge will be open to keep us all warm & happy!We will follow this  
with a celebration in the evening at Moonshadow to welcome the pending  
return of the sun. This includes a beautiful bountiful feast (please  
bring food), the Moonshadow Mead Bar, a festive Dance Party, games,  
gifts & all sorts of festivities. We encourage each participant in  
this event to bring a sampling of their favorite chocolate yummy.  
Seriously, if you bring a chocolate Santa Claus, we will hurl you into  
the pond. We’re talking dank chocolate here–no Hershey’s Cadbury or  
Russell Stover’s! We want organic/fair trade style deep dark delicious  
goodness. Your homemade chocolate confections are welcome.Sunday  
morning will close the event with John Johnson’s infamous Dutch Oven  
Style Home-fries, hugs & kisses until the New Year!Parents will  
collaborate on childcare during the weekend, and we are looking for  
folks to help out in the following rolls: -Meal Planning & prep -food
