It's time for the second annual Stone Soup event. Last years event turned out so well that we decided to do it again.

Hidden Valley Park


Arrive at noon to the posted coordinates. You will find a large soup pot containing a stone in boiling water. Bring with you an item of food or spice to be placed in the pot. Make sure to bring at least enough for each person in your group and that the items are pre cut (and or cooked if extra cooking time is needed). Bring your own bowls and spoons. Invite your friends and family to join the fun. Please post in your "will attend" log what you are bringing and how many in your group.

Story


Some travellers come to a village, carrying nothing more than an empty cooking pot. Upon their arrival, the villagers are unwilling to share any of their food stores with the hungry travellers. Then the travellers go to a stream and fill the pot with water, drop a large stone in it, and place it over a fire. One of the villagers becomes curious and asks what they are doing. The travellers answer that they are making "stone soup", which tastes wonderful, although it still needs a little bit of garnish to improve the flavour, which they are missing. The villager does not mind parting with a few carrots to help them out, so that gets added to the soup. Another villager walks by, inquiring about the pot, and the travellers again mention their stone soup which has not reached its full potential yet. The villager hands them a little bit of seasoning to help them out. More and more villagers walk by, each adding another ingredient. Finally, a delicious and nourishing pot of soup is enjoyed by all.
