In the depth of winter, I finally learned that within me there lay an invincible summer.
- Albert Camus
Solstice Celebration - this Saturday (17 Dec 2011) 2:30-5:30
Bring some light into the darkest part of the year together in a family-friendly, completely volunteer-run, abundance celebration.
The 3rd Annual OOOOBY Christmas market supporting local small producers, come and enjoy some local fresh seasonal food & drink. All OOOOBY stock will also be reduced.
When darkness falls - around 4:30 - we follow our own and many other ancient traditions by kindling lights together to light up the dark (we supply candles). Following this, children can visit with Santa.
- If you can, please bring some food/drink (non-alcoholic) to share.
- Stalls are available for local food and craft producers at the celebration, please contact us immediately if you want one (nominal €5 cost).
- Volunteer times Thursday 2-4 clean up, Friday 11-1 set up, Satuday 12 - finish setup & decorate
- IMPORTANT! Santa URGENTLY NEEDS A SANTA SUIT for the OOOOBY Solstice celebration, as his has disappeared! Please contact me if you have one he could use; guaranteed to get you on his "nice" list!
