Green corn feast festival, basically make as awesome as the saint patricks day event - would be summer of next year
think lots of parts of community would appreciate some of the original America
open to suggestions on everything from community if could vote and comment when have a chance please!
little bit native myself so studied bit how America "was made" etc. Grey owl is also a interesting movie
a semi permanent and decent feast all year would be nice either for this thanksgiving or for next year starting- think would make all the players happy.
Pagan holidays would be interesting too, roughly the same setup = celebrating the seasons and perpetual growth cycles of nature etc.

\Imbolc As the first cross-quarter day following Midwinter this day falls on the first of February and traditionally marks the first stirrings of spring. It is time for purification and spring cleaning in anticipation of the year's new life. In Rome, it was historically a shepherd's holiday.
As is often the case with Celtic deities who are described as threefold, she is seen as three sisters, all named Brigid, who perform various functions in society, such as healing, poetry and smithcraft
could have write vidalian poetry event with some other stuff / design a new gear or something and best one R2 &one from community pick will get made /discussed to make possible. some events tailored to give priests naise stuff or special buffs
Vernal Equinox (Ostara)
The vernal equinox, in Germanic traditions often called Ostara, a word invented by Grimm in the 1840s[citation needed], inaugurates the new year on the Zodiacal calendar. From this point on, days are longer than the nights. Many mythologies[who?] regard this as the time of rebirth or return for vegetation gods (e.g. Attis) and celebrate the spring equinox as a time of great fertility.[14][17]
Egg decorating is a very common tradition in vernal equinox celebrations throughout Europe.[14][17]
Germanic pagans dedicate the holiday to their fertility goddess Ostara (the eastern star). She is notably associated with the fecund symbols of the hare and egg. Her teutonic name may be etymological ancestor of the words east and Easter
-we already do a few of these events just call them by basic names in a few ways- christmas - easter etc etc. they need pumped up more

Beltane
Main articles: Beltane, Floralia and Walpurgis Night
Traditionally the first day of summer in Ireland, in Rome the earliest celebrations appeared in pre-Christian times with the festival of Flora, the Roman goddess of flowers, and the Walpurgis Night celebrations of the Germanic countries.[22]
Since the Christianization of Europe, a more secular version of the festival has continued in Europe and America. In this form, it is well known for maypole dancing and the crowning of the Queen of the May.
could make a special buff - have people "dance"/add a string and circle around the poll for a chance to be named queen and get a special outfit +buffs. the more people around the more gifts get sent to the queen and people around. almost like blessed rain. some fireworks etc. encourage taking pics etc and posting videos of it. something everyone has chance to participate in. maybe pick a queen or two a day for the week ;p. something for guys too/"king for a day"
Title suggestion:
little rough outline of something that might look neat at the title so people could see it clearly etc so can all gather around person who is king or queen of the event for half day or day
