May Day memories for me are going to school on the island of Oahu. It is a beautiful celebration of color and flowers, fragrance, laughter, and Aloha.
Watching my younger sisters in elementary school was especially entertaining.
If lei day landed on a school day, the whole day is delegated to celebrating this event. Dances, Hawaiian attire wore with many flowers that have been Hahu. {Meaning braided}
It was a celebration for the Queen long ago. 1929, it became an official holiday.
This year is the 82ND celebration.
The picture shows this year's competition. Hats and leis are made and put on display for judging.
My sister Beverly is packed and ready to fly to Maui in the am. I know she wished she could of been apart of seeing this event again.
She was a very good May Pole dancer and lei maker.
As well as sister Brenda.
Safe journey Beverly... enjoy the laughter and Alohas!!!
