Event To Celebrate First Harvest Festival
Author: Rob Daniel Source: Iowa City Press-Citizen
Title: EVENT TO CELEBRATE FIRST HARVEST FESTIVAL
Lammasfest came about because their feet were cold, Kate Cheyney of North Liberty said.
A follower of American Indian and "non-desert religions" outside of the mainstream, Cheyney said, her son Kirk and six others wanted to find a festival that occurred during a warmer time of the year than early October. They found out about Lammas, the celebration of the first harvest in early August, and six years later, the family is organizing the sixth annual Lammasfest Friday through Sunday at the Coralville Lake Reservoir.
According to the group's Web site, Lammas dates back to the ancient Celtic celebration of Lughnasdh, in which ancients assembled to mourn the death of the corn god or the death of summer.

I like the entire idea behind this event. Yeah, it may've started as a joke (which I appreciate) but it has grown into a way to bring people together. Cool!
