May
Day The May Pole Dance, Tournament of Games and the crowning of "Queen of Love and Beauty" are all part of May Day -- a centuries old custom dating back to Renaissance England which heralded in spring's bounty.
Keeping with tradition, a local "maiden" will be chosen as the Queen of Love and Beauty, a custom which has remained virtually unchanged throughout antebellum South to the present day.
