Our premier May Day Festival was held on the fourth day of this month, and by all measures was a resounding success.

More than twenty people showed up and contributed to the enjoyment — folks brought tasty food, decanted sparkling beverages, played music, frolicked on the grass, shared board games, looked fabulous in their pre-modern attire, took photographs, handed out flower crowns, welcomed newcomers, talked about both history and their own lives, built community, and helped us get everything set up at noon and then packed away at the end of the day.

The event was so well received that we’re resolved to organize more outings of this sort soon — keep your ears open for additional announcements, and we look forward to seeing you at our next outdoor festival!
