If it is May 1st, which it is, you can bet that there will be a celebration at the Free Union Country School in Free Union, Virginia. The students, pre-school-5th grade, faculty , family and friends are still practicing the old tradition of dancing around the maypole.
As you will see when you visit the Free Union Country School website:
“On May 1st each year, the school celebrates May Day, a festival that marks the arrival of spring. The day is filled with music and flowers and at the center of the celebration is an enormous maypole around which the children dance. Families enjoy picnic lunches on the playground after the dancing.”
It is always fun to see the youngest group; for them it is all about waving to the folks or weaving the ribbons as quickly as you can, possibly running down the person in front of you. Isn’t this a great place to live.
