Wikipedia defines the origins of May Day:
The earliest May Day celebrations appeared in pre-Christian times, with the festival of Flora, the Roman Goddess of flowers, and the Walpurgis Night celebrations of the Germanic countries. It is also associated with the Gaelic Beltane.


Relay For Life in Second Life is expanding on these origins with our own May Day event. Teams are comming together in a day celebrations, life encouragement and fun. Each team will be given a 20x20 spot in which to fill as they like. ACS will be providing an Entertainment Square where DJs can hang and share the tunes! For those people wishing to DJ I will make a schedule. Each DJ will get an hour during the day. First come first serve. Please contact Green Collingwood in world ASAP. ACS will also providing a Baking Contest Tent People will build desserts before hand and will be voted on using kiosks. Pies, cakes, anything desserty!
