Cool are you going to update the first page? and maybe organize it too?

I'll edit mine as soon as I find more events.

Highland Games Sept 1-2
http://www.caledonian.org/games/gamesmain.html

It's a pretty big event with food, music, vendors, reenactments, and bag pipes! They have the usual weapon vendors that you may find in anime/fantasty/comic conventions. But they also have others. It's pretty good. As for me, one day was enough.

Alameda County Fairgrounds, Pleasanton, CA.
* Saturday & Sunday, September 1 & 2, 2007 *
8a.m.-6p.m.
Adult 1-day $18.00 /2-day $25.00 * Youth 8-16,
Seniors 65+ & Handicapped $12.00

NorCal Ren Faire Sept 8 - Oct 14
http://www.norcalrenfaire.com/

It's in Gilroy. This one is big as well and they hold it every year. And they have everything, music, food, and characters. They have jousting as well. They also have vendors and a costume store, its expensive but worth it. Since it's they're there for more than a month, they also have themed weekends and two of them are pirate invasion weekends!

10021 Pacheco Pass Hwy
Hollister, CA 95023-9541

GENERAL ADMISSION:
Adult Tickets: $25.00
Child Tickets (5-12): $10.00

The Beta Beta Sigma chapter of Phi Theta Kappa (two year honors society) at Napa Valley College will be holding their second Taste of Religion Forum.

Thursday November 29th

From 6:00pm - 8:30pm

In the Napa Valley College Cafeteria

The forum is purely informational and all are welcome to attend and participate during the Q&A

We will have about seven presentations from different religious groups

Judaism*
Islam*
Buddhist
Hindu*
Native American
Wicca or Pagan*
Christian (we have a long list of denominations)

Sugary goodness will be provided

Again the forum is informational (not debate) and it is our hope that the community will have fun learning about different cultures. (For students this is a great extra credit opportunity should your instructors agree to it)

*conformation pending



Any questions? Comments?
