June

June 2-7, 2014: The Oh! Migration festival, held in Babaloo on the island of Santa Lucia (the Isle of Lucy), celebrates Pun’s inland expansion from the coastal city-states. Thousands gather to participate in activities centered in and around Pepptobiz Mall to honor the spirit that helped settle the interior.
June 8: Batteries Park, on the south side of Point Spread in south central Pun, is the site of a special celebration honoring the city’s history as an important military post. The artillery battery cannon, known as The Guns of Neveron, which for years protected Honorondo Bay and Pun’s capital from marauding pirates such as Long John Undaweir, are still fired once a year to recreate their historic role in Pun’s history. The city creates a festival around the event, held each year on Neveron Sunday.
June 16-22: Mon Key holds its Mon Key Shines festival through this week, highlighted by barrel races, business exhibits, a wrench toss, and the “Gorilla My Dreams” beauty pageant.
June 22: In eastern Pun, the longest day of the year is celebrated in a huge arts and crafts show at the site of Pun’s largest waterfall (720 ft.). Check out The Bigger Day Arts at DeHarderday Falls.
June 30: Judge Crater was formed in eastern Pun about 10,000 years ago when a meteorite crashed into the earth.The crater is named for Hubie D. Judge, the man who discovered and mapped it 1741, and is primarily known for its vast fields of mint that grow in the crater. The rich land of the area gives the mint a strong bouquet and flavor that is highly prized by Pun citizens. A celebration is held every year and people come from all over the island to partake in the festivities on June 30, Judge Mint Day.
All Month: The National Museum of Dance History in Foot Falls has special exhibits all month long with reduced admission prices. Visitors can view films and displays and also follow footprint patterns on the floor to do the King Conga, Little Black Samba, Izzit Reel, Lemon Twist, or the Carr Rhumba (also known as the Carr Hop or the Front End Shimmy). There are also displays covering the outlawed Strip Polka and the Buttin’s Key cannibals’ annual feast dance, the Hominy Minuet.
Featured Restaurant of the Month: Pasture Prime (formerly Livery’s Table) in Doodah in north central Pun. Owner and chef Runford DeRoses used to tend the old race horses that had been put out to pasture from the tracks in Doodah. After he retired, he opened this little eatery. Despite the tacky decor, this is a fine restaurant with an impressive a la carte selection. Try the house specialty, Pasture Prime, or the Belmont Steaks, or the Filly Mignon, and tell us if there isn’t something different about the texture and flavor of DeRoses’ cooking. Fresh baked Thoro Bread is served with each meal. Ample parking and quick service mean that you won’t have to wait furlong. Overlooking Betonda Bay.
