How we celebrate

May 16th is an important date on Mayne Island. It is the weekend of the testier Farmers' Market. It is a taste of things yet to come. However, not only that, it is also the weekend of the Green Man parade.
Everything starts at the Ag Hall grounds right after the Farmers' Market at 1 pm.

They begin to dance.





Then there is a parade were the Green Man leads us all to the Miners' Bay Park.




The May Queen is crowned.






The maypole is delivered




and erected.




Then we dance.






Now let's play a game. Let's play "Where's Leanne?"

Here she is...




Can you find her here?






How about here?



Where is she?




How about here?


On she dances, can you find her?



On and on, she dances in and out of view...











Ah, finally she rests and you catch her...




And the maypole is complete







And on they dance...





Now, I ask you, "Do you think we had fun?"
