I too have heard of the maypole but never saw it and yours is beautiful and a great explanation.
k-6 I walked to school. I did not need the brown bag because we actually walked home for lunch and back to school for the afternoon. It was about a mile. could you imagine that today?
ok this is a real risk I am taking here...so please be kind. My birthday is in may and a while back my mom gave me a bunch of pics to scan...here is one. not sure what age. It was a birthday celebration with some of the neighborhood kids...probably went bowling or miniature golf playing or movies, and then back home for cake and icecream...what else?
This year I will be celebrating my 55th in another country.
no kids, no grandkids, so you are stuck with me.
btw...the blond in the middle was my next door neighbor growing up...she was in one of the twin towers when it came down...she did not come home.

*MAY DAY* Enjoy the flower
I not only remember the Maypole. I danced it once. Was probably 6 YO. I remember being so proud of it and how pretty it was.

Rivernan and I had the same idea. So here are a few of my old black & Whites when we were involved in MAY DAY programs as a child. We did participate in May Day activities but never got to "dance around the May Pole".
My brother & friend dancing in May Day Program
My brother & friend were May Day King & Queen in this program
Jackie & Me dancing in a May Day Program
Just because they are pretty
Just for you, Sher

It's probably because I'm older & from a very small town! We loved the May Day programs...but we moved the year after these were taken & weren't involved in any more May Day programs either :evil:

I don't ever remember doing anything special for May day, so we never had that tradition to pass on. Here's a couple old pictures from my younger years. My dad wrote on all the old photos like that
Me and my brother and sister
I'm the 1 with brown shorts, I was 15 in this picture
