Lovers will mark day with celebrations, signing of beef
Only days after YearlyKos 2007 made headlines around the nation, the blogosphere has turned out another convention of equal importance. The Knighting of the Beef Ceremony takes place next Saturday, the 25th of August, in Buxton, Ohio. Described by organizers as "a small way to remember the knighting of beef, and to say 'Hey King Henry VIII, thanks for bestowing an honor so grand, so saith legend, upon a cut of beef'", the celebrations will be twofold. First, the signing of the beef ceremony where attendees will sign the sirloin (above the loin) portion of a young bovine, and second, the so-called Feast of the Guildsmen, where those same attendees cook and consume the meat.
Buxton residents are especially excited (as always) around this time of year as indications of the important event are beginning to appear in the streets. A large, inflatable cow has been purchased and donated by the Wess family, and this year, banners featuring the popular "cow tail and pie" logo have been hung from streetlamps.
Entrance to the event is free, but a dinner ticket will cost 20$.
