Do not adjust your monitor. Do not reset your iPod. You are really seeing Cathy Wurzer from Twin Cities Public Television's Almanac right here on Minnesota Stories. More importantly, you're hearing some great oral history about Powderdorn Park. Just in time for the beloved spring ritual that is the MayDay Parade and Festival.
Do you have any stories about Powderhorn Park or the MayDay Festival? Leave a comment or find us in the park. We'll be there on Sunday with our cameras and our freak flag flying.
Special thanks to TPT Producer Dan Bergin for lending us this timely video.

Wow I really loved the piece. What a trip to see folks coming together like that. I have never heard that term before - and now I can't remember it. Need to watch it again. The narrator was referring to....citizens of Minneapolis.
I love the may day parade! I was in it once when I was little-- I went to this class thing that was put on by Heart of the Beast theatre and we made huge dream catchers by bending branches and strung all these strips of fabric that we tie dyed on them too. I sound like a hippie child, but it was a good time.

I usually just go to Powderhorn for May Day festivities so it is really nice to hear about other aspects of its history and use.
