Spirit Walk 2014
The Elder Events subcommittee is inviting all to join the 2023 Spirit Walk
The Spirit Walk is for the whole Fair Family and is sponsored by Elders.
This is the same night as the October full moon.
When: Saturday, October 28
Where: The Hub Yurt
The Hub Yurt is located on Chickadee Lane across from Alice’s and it is near the Hub Elder camp.
Time: You may arrive as early as noon/1pm.
Kay will be there to broom out and do some prep work. Arrive early to help with decorating and setting up the space.
At twilight (about 6:30pm) there will be a moonlight walk throughout the Fair where we can remember the people who passed.
After the walk-about we will have a potluck with a fall theme. There are plug-ins for crockpots, etc. Weather permitting, we could have a firepit.
Bell Ringing Ceremony
Lisa C. is organizing a bell ringing ceremony to honor those who have gone before us. Lisa is collecting the list of names of folks to be remembered. We will hold a moment of silence for each name.
To include someone on the list send an email or call/text Lisa.

Alice’s is available for a limited number of Elders from far away who wish to sleep there so they do not have to drive home after dark. Please check with Kay if you want to spend the night at Alice’s.
Questions? Please call/text Kay at 541-726-7343
