Maloy Solstice Party June 21st

Come celebrate our 14th annual summer solstice and the feast of St John Baptist celebration in the remote and colorful town of Maloy, Iowa, on Saturday, June 21. Festivities begin about 4 p.m. with ultimate Frisbee, basketball and other games in the Maloy City Park at the center of town as well as visiting the gardens, restored prairie, the chickens, goats and sheep. At 6 we will have a pot luck supper in the park and dance hall, featuring first harvests from our gardens, fields and pastures. After supper there will be folk dancing in the park until dusk, followed by a bonfire in our orchard, more food and drink and music. Bring friends, bring some food or drink to share if you wish (there is always enough) musical instruments, lawn chairs. There is room to tent if you want to stay the night, room to sleep on our floor and we can try to arrange for a bed for anyone who needs one. Children welcome, of course. Please let us know if you're coming, especially if you are planning on staying the night.
Last year’s celebration is broadcast on Youtube, thanks to Rodger Routh-http://youtube.com/watch?v=mRGqJKpAnXw
Come celebrate with us the longest day despite the darkness of the times around us!
