The May Faire is on today in Fairfield, Iowa At Fairfield's Singing Cedars Waldorf school
May Day.. If the wreath of flowers goes back to Spring goddess symbols, the May Pole itself represents, most probably, the tree of life and fertility. In modern context both are just good, festive fun, and a reminder that warmer days are ahead. Children get the chance at school today to enjoy the tradition of a May Pole with flowers on the top and pretty ribbons dangling from it and the very simple skipping dances which can be done around it, to the accompaniment either of music or singing. Children and adults have traditionally worn flowers when dancing around the May Pole. A single blossom in the buttonhole or hair, or an actual “May Crown” or wreath of flowers for the head symbolizes the full arrival of spring and new growth. At Singing Cedars this is one of our favorite festivals celebrated by flower crown making, horseback riding, fairy-house building, May Pole dancing and sharing a meal together. All family and friends are welcome. 11am - 3pm Singing Cedars - a magical place for children http://singingcedars.com/ http://singingcedars.com/ Singing Cedars - a magical place for children http://singingcedars.com/ a magical place for children View on singingcedars.com http://singingcedars.com/ Preview by Yahoo
