Folkmoot ‘May Day’ features antiques, music, craft beer
Folkmoot USA invites area collectors to its spring-cleaning fundraiser from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, May 2, at the old Hazelwood Elementary School in Waynesville.
After 32 years of collecting trinkets, old desks, unique chairs, foam mattresses, folding and non-folding bed frames and used kitchen equipment, Folkmoot is ready to unload its wares.
Parallel to the house-cleaning sale at 11 a.m., Folkmoot will open the halls, cafeteria and multipurpose room of the Friendship Center to celebrate spring renewal with a May Day Celebration. Activities will feature music by Blackberry Jam, the Haywood Community Band; dance lessons and performances by J. Creek Cloggers and youth dance performances by Angie’s Dance Company; delicious Mexican cuisine by Maria Pressley, special craft beers by Boojum and Frog Level breweries, and coffee blends roasted by Smoky Mountain Roasters and Panacea Coffee. Folkmoot will also offer a silent auction, a May Pole and spring craft projects for kids with a spring plant sale by Southeastern Native Plant Nursery.
The Folkmoot ticket office will also be open from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. for the Folkmoot USA Festival 2015, set for July 16-26. Tickets are currently available at www.folkmootusa.org.
