Today is May Day. Looking back I don't remember the drop and dash of May baskets. What I do remember is seeing the USSR's May Day -- or International Day of Solidarity of the Working People -- festivities on the evening news every year.You'd see the big military parade in Moscow -- scads and scads of goose-stepping Red Army soldiers and missiles on the backs of trucks. And the shot of the reviewing stand with the leader and his inner circle.

Too funny! When you spoke about the military parades of your childhood May Day, I thought you were referring to VFW or American Legion activities in the to-be-unnamed town you grew up in. :)
We did the drop and dash May Day baskets in western Minnesota. Even did it in South Minneapolis a few years ago, which was loads of fun.
