Have you ever participated in a May Day celebration ?

I used to do Maypole Dancing, which has absolutely nothing to do with Pole Dancing.

My wife just read that and it set her off!

Our school participated in a mass Maypole Dance. Forty or so schools took part, each school with a separate Maypole, in a large natural amphitheatre.
