FAQ's
1.

What kind of Ribbon should I bring? How much do I need? Where can I get it?

  You will need 50' of ribbon perferably 2-3" wide. You can check your local craft stores, or your local fabric store, and obtain cost effective fabric sew strips together.
   
2. What should I bring to the potluck?
  We encourage everyone to bring a seasonal dish. Need ideas? Just GOOGLE "Beltane Recipes". Please know the ingredients in your dish, and possible allergens (ie Nuts). Lets please avoid a wide assortment of potato chips and create a FEAST we can all indulge in!
   
3. What do I need personal dishes for?
  This will be for personal use during our potluck. Since we should all be aware of the environment and the effects of our decisions on Mother Earth, lets avoid using harmful disposible dishes and utensils.
   
4. What should I wear?
  We ask that everyone where brightly colored clothes to invoke the fun of the holiday. We also encourage accessorizing yourself with greenman masks, floral crowns, ribbons, wings, etc. And as always please come prepared for inclement weather...layers are usually a good idea. Bring a jacket and/or blanket as the evening tends to be cooler.
   
5. What else should I bring?
  A lawn chair so you aren't on the ground. Also feel free to bring any musical instruments (drums, guitars, flutes, etc), BYOB, as well as any items you would like to place on the altar. Most Importantly come ready to have FUN, and delve into the revelery.
