The Transcript

May Day Rained Out

Andrea Gaona

Cinco de Mayo is a date of great importance for the Mexican and Chicano communities. It marks the victory of the Mexican Army over the French at the Battle of Puebla. Although the Mexican army was eventually defeated, the "Batalla de Puebla" came to represent a symbol of Mexican unity and patriotism. With this victory, Mexico demonstrated to the world that Mexico and all of Latin America were willing to defend themselves of any unfamiliar interference.

In the United States, the "Batalla de Puebla" came to be known as simply "5 de Mayo". Over, the years Cinco de Mayo has become very commercialized and many people see this holiday as a time for fun and dance. People of Mexican descent in the United States celebrate this significant day by having parades, mariachi music, folkloric dancing and other types of festive activities.

For the third time in over twenty years. May Day Festival was cancelled because of the heavy rain on Sunday May 3rd. Legend has it, the first May Day Festival was back in 1925. It began as a day to come together as a community and celebrate the wonders of spring. Teachers and Students from all the surrounding schoolhouses were represented. Children would dress up as fairy tale characters and go on pony rides and cake walks. The Firefighters would have water fights and raise money for new equipment. Sometimes you might find a Quilt Raffle or Grape Box Derby Cars racing down the hill form Hoffman Grove. Local children danced the Traditional May Pole Dance and all anticipated the crowning of the May Day Queen! 

Founding settlers of Geyserville still come together and celebrate what has become a town tradition. The crowning of the May Day Queen and her court takes place at 1:30. The original may Pole from 1925 will be danced around by local 3^rd Grade classes at 2:00. Kids can play in a Jump Room, climb the Rock Wall and have fun with Fluttery the Clown!  Usually there is a Geyserville History Display and an egg-toss competition. Geyser Peak Wines and Beer will be served to accompany all the tasty eats, like steak sandwiches and more!

May Day will return next year, same time, same station. See you there! Check out the flyer from 1928…….
