Events & Celebrations
May Fair
The May Fair is the major family/community event and the highlight of the year. It makes a small profit for the financial aid fund, but it is held mostly for the community to celebrate spring and to have fun. It is usually held on the first Saturday in May. It is often planned around a theme, such as animals, or medieval times. The festivities include dance performances by each age group, including a sword dance and Maypole dance done by the oldest children. Through the day there are booth and field games, pony rides, face-painting, and other activities. Plants, SRV T-shirts and a variety of snack and dinner foods are sold. Towards evening there is usually a square dance. There is often live music throughout the fair.
The May Fair is planned by the Family Events Committee and virtually every member of the community helps in one way or another. At a minimum, parents should plan to set aside an hour or two to staff a booth.
