Mayenne Morris
Morris dancing - Vide Grenier - St George's Day - La Rouaudiere - Mayenne - Pays de la Loire
On
Sunday April 20th
La Rouaudière, a small village in Mayenne (department 53), hosts a Vide Grenier (car boot sale). It is run by the local English community in celebration of St George's Day, and is fast becoming a popular annual event.
The idea was formed by Karen Roberts, a local resident, who hoped it would bring the English and French community in the area closer together with a common goal of raising money for the village school.
This year a brave group of English Men and Woman have undertaken the mammoth task of learning how to Morris dance, so as to be able to perform a traditional English dance on the day. After weeks of preparation and dedication this merry band of men and women will perform for one day at:
Vide Grenier
La Rouaudière
April 20th 2008
They will dance at:
10.00h, 13.00h and 16.00h
Come along and show your support!
The St Georges Day celebration will include…..
Tug of War, car boot, dog agility, classic car display, games such as wellie wanging, and bash the rat, pony rides, face painting, English food at breakfast, lunch and there's even cream tea and cakes in the afternoon!
A special stall run by the school will sell crafts made by the school children - all raised money goes to the local school.
