MAY DAY CELEBRATION

February 18, 2012. MAY DAY PROGRAMS

October 7, 2011. From Brenda McLaughlin

The Knotts Island Volunteer Fire Department sponsored annual May Day Celebrations as a fund raiser for several years. Many of the volunteer fire departments from Virginia Beach participated. The day started with a parade of fire trucks, rescue squads, bands, floats, antique cars, politicians and others. Some of the fire departments sponsored May Queen contestants. The May Queen contest was an additional fund raiser with the largest donor being crowned as queen in a beautiful cermony complete with flower girl and crown bearer. Young girls practiced for days to perform the traditional May Pole Dance. Ham and turkey dinners were sold.
