My grandparents lived in Hastings, Nebraska and I remember being there for Easter Break (as it was called in those long-ago days) during this exact May 1st tradition. Thanks for the sweet reminder.

Minnesota didn’t have a special celebration that I know of. We didn’t really have protective child labor laws back then, either…

Where in Nebraska? In elementary school in Iowa, we didn’t do the ding dong ditch, but tried to sneak items on a cute girl’s desk.

Anyone remember The May Pole at school? This brought back some sweet memories, like so many of your adorable strips do. Thanks, Melissa.
