First Fridays in Vernonia Begins with Maypole Dance
Children are encouraged to join in the second annual revival of the Maypole Dance which highlights the beginning of Vernonia's First Friday season. From May 1st through October 2nd, the first Friday every month will celebrate community in Vernonia with merchant specials and various community and education events.
The opening events are held in Hawkins Park and in the Scout Cabin in the park. Included are the Floating Art & Hand-made Gifts Gallery which has everything from nature photography to baskets and ceramics. Entertainment is provided by live music with Strings on Fire--our local youth orchestra. Other events include an old-fashioned cake walk, the OSU Master Gardeners' Info Table, and a May Baskets crafts table. Also featured will be the new Bring a Book/Take a Book box, strictly for trading books. Scout Cabin opens at 5:00PM, and the Maypole Dance starts at 6:00PM right outside. All events are rain or shine.
