Subject: RE: BS: Blessed Beltane 2007!
we had our regular Beltaine weekend happening,,
Its organized at a co-op farm in the fraser valley (here in BC)
and we have fiddle tunes inside, a quest (usually based on some
bit of folkore or mythology and the participants walk the quest around the farm - and interact with the various characters (this year it was Jack and the Beanstalk, in previous years it was Orpheus in the Underworld, Pyramus and Thisbe etc..)

Then there is a potluck dinner,followed by the Maypole procession..
planting and dancing around it while the musician huddle underneath the
ribbons, its always fun watching newcomers when the direction is reversed and the ribbons unravel. .Theres 25years of ribbons on the maypole some from people who are not with us anymore..

welcome in the summer..
