It must have died out between you and me Tripper. I had never heard of it until my kids were in school.

Maybe things do repeat themselves?

I'm in CT and don't remember anything about it here. I do remember seeing the parades on TV from China when they pull out all their war machines. Jim

I guess we're weird here in Canada, May Day was a big thing when we were kids..... some what less so now I think, Easter and Mothers Day have taken over, mostly due to being so heavily commercialized. Not so much profit to be made from dancing around the Maypole...

 

[MercuryMac]

Yes, ZZ, I also remember Mayday from when I was a kid. There's nothing now-a-days, though. ------- And could you tone down the 'we're weird in Canada', to 'we're nicely unique'.
