Powderhorn May Day - it worked!

[dreamshark]

The South Minneapolis Fertility Festival was facing yet another dubious forecast (60 degrees and cloudy, no 70 degrees and raining, no...). It was 48 and cloudy at 10am. So we gave up on the big picnic idea, piled on layers of clothes, and headed out with just a backpack each. About the time the parade started out for the park, the sun came out and we all started shedding layers. By the time the parade reached the park we were wondering why nobody brought sunscreen. The leaves came out on the trees, flowers burst into bloom, and birdies sang. Spring is here!

Anybody know what this puppet is?  She's not one of the 5 Basic Powderhorn Spirit puppets, but almost as big and far more expressive. I hope she's back next year.

SO glad to hear it worked out! I was worried when I looked at the forecast.

I don't know that puppet. It wasn't in the ceremony, unlike both the Ghost Moose and the Regular Moose.

Sorry I didn't see you guys! I watched the parade from up around Bloomington and 31st, then caught a bus home. I hadn't come prepared for the sun, which started to get to me - never even thought of the parasol.
