COURTESY KIMBERLEY MEDIEVAL FEST
Vikings can be ferocious in battle but they have to eat too. Join them July 9 for a medieval feast at the Elks Club.
Kick off the Medieval Fest with a Viking feast C AROLYN GR ANT Bulletin Editor
Ever enjoyed a cup of mead with a Viking? You are invited to sit down to a medieval feast this Friday, July 9 at the Kimberley Elks Club and do just that. As part of the Kimberley Medieval Festival that weekend, things will kick off with a medieval feast of roasted chicken and pork, baked apples and more. No cutlery will be provided as one and all are invited to dig in, Viking-style.
“We encourage people to dress up in medieval clothing though it’s not mandatory,” said Michelle Forbes, one of the festival organizers. “Our Viking guests for the weekend will be there to mingle with the crowd.” If you’d like to order mead to drink with the Vikings, you can order ahead by contacting Kimberley City Bakery or check out the Medieval Festival Facebook page. All proceeds from the dinner will go to the costs of putting on the festival. Tickets are $50 and on sale now at the Bakery, Centex and the Elks Club.

porary wall. “The program will cost considerably more,” said Don McCormick. “We’ve allocated money in the budget, but now we have $350,000 in matching funds. It’s been 55 years waiting for this. The longer it has gone on, the more legendary the wall has become. See GRANT, page 5
