Come join us for a May Day picnic at noon, on the 2nd!

We have a spot picked out, by the market.
Check out the video (next post) to see the EXACT spot.
We’ll enjoy the end of the Saturday market, bring our blankets, and have a little community time.

We’ll also tie ribbons to tree branches to celebrate Beltane, and make our May Day wishes!

Some of us might dress up for springtime.
Like fairies, perhaps …
Everyone welcome!
Bring ribbon!
Wear a flower crown!
Or just bring yourself and see what happens!
Make a wish!

Happy spring.
