Grawood Farmstead
Grawood Farmstead is a farming and herding community outside of River's Rest that hosts a spring festival to celebrate the coming growing season.
There is no charge for the 2010 event.
Date
The event will run from the evening of May 14 through May 21.
Access
Grawood's Annual Spring Farm Festival is just around the corner! The hitching post is almost ready to be set up in River's Rest, and from there, you'll be able to catch a wagon that will take you straight to Grawood's Farm area!
The wagons will be located in River's Rest and will run you back-and-forth from Grawood May 14th (evening) through 21st (evening).
Adventurers must travel to River's Rest to attend this festival.
The hitching post is located on the forested path south of the sanctuary. GO POST will put you on a wagon.
Events
Advertised were a hoedown, complete with dancing, games, merchants, town shops, locals, food, cows, and turnips.
In all seriousness though, I did say this was a free festival. For that simple fact alone, it's not going to be as big and grand as a pay event. However, I do hope that players will enjoy the atmosphere, the storyline, and the shops. (GameMaster Xynwen)
Meet the folks, visit the town shops, play a few games, and celebrate around the spring bonfire! This is an RP event with some visiting merchants and a few items of interest, so we hope you'll stop by and find something that grabs your attention!
