FAQ:
What is Laborial Day?
It's an ancient pagan celebration landing exactly halfway between Labor Day and Memorial Day.
What are the Laborial Day traditions?
They are many:
- Since the days of the ancients, trivia lovers have convened on Laborial Day to match wits in mental challenges while quaffing libations on a circuitous tour of area ale-houses. Today we call this a "trivia pub crawl."
- We do this while wearing black AND white, because for many millennia people have argued about when it's appropriate to wear white. These are the sacred colors of Laborial Day.
- We eat ceremonial black cookies with sacred white creamy filling, known as Laboreos. Served plain or a la mode.
- We drink of the Dark and Laborial.
- They hunt for the Laborial Stone, a monthlong scavenger hunt throughout the Twin Cities. Clues are posted weekly. The finder of the stone is crowed the King/Queen of Laborial Day, is toasted by the trivia masses, and receives many other fabulous prizes and gifts.
