June was busting out all over the meadows and the hills of Olympia’s Heritage park, though it seemed like a harbinger of April Fool’s day, an unseasonably warm March weekend settling astride the Capitol Campus lakeside park.
May Day is a celebration of springtime rituals with ancient roots as well as an international holiday celebrating labor and a memorial for the historically violent events that have affected labor organizers/dissidents even today. The last weekend of 2013’s March weather smiled upon the politically astute and sun worshipers alike in Olympia’s Heritage Park on the edge of the Capitol Campus lake shore.
A number of grass roots organizers are inviting the public to contribute ideas for 2013 May Day festivities in Olympia. A number of such open invitations (past & future) can be found on the Occupy Olympia Facebook events page.
