Officiallytook Posted May 1, 2017 Report Share Posted May 1, 2017 This is that holiday I was referring to. Found it on some website but only stated "labor day" "may 1st"... This "International workers day" is better sounding to me... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

presence Posted May 1, 2017 Report Share Posted May 1, 2017 Out of all the days for them tongave a holiday and revolution - in 1948 they chose Bastille Day - well, it worked for the French, why not? At least they will already be in line with them when this goes "international". Go RV!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

235snack Posted May 1, 2017 Report Share Posted May 1, 2017 When I lived in Austria in 1953, May 1st was considered "May Day". There were marches in the streets by displaced persons( unemployed due to the war), we were told to stay inside for the day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DinarDavo Posted May 1, 2017 Report Share Posted May 1, 2017 (edited) When I was in the 2nd grade in NE Florida we celebrated May Day (May 1st) by dressing up as bumble bees and butterflies and danced around a May pole. Hope this helps. (sorry, the 8mm reels were lost in the move). Edited May 1, 2017 by DinarDavo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
