May Day Celebration ~

I recently attended our 30th Annual May Day Celebration. This event started at five o'clock with food and root beer floats available. In addition, a silent auction was also going inside the cafeteria with decorated themed baskets to bid on. It was nice to see friends you haven't seen in a while and catch up on each others lives. Everyone looks forward in celebrating and supporting the children.

  2. Angela, I attended the May Day festival one year. So very unique, as I too don't know of any other town that does this.

    You have captured the event so well, and it was good to see George and his bagpipes.
