11th Annual May Faire at the Emerson
Waldorf School Come early to enjoy traditional Maypole dances performed by the Emerson students. The entertainment this year will showcase the breadth and depth of a Waldorf Education on the main stage with performances from our Eurythmy and Chorus classes, String Ensemble and Circus Arts class, as well as our a capella adult singing group, the Morning Glory Voices. Among the shade trees, booths will offer wares from our artistic adult community with metalwork, felting creations and lots of items handmade by our own EWS Parent Handwork Group. Faire-goers can try their hand at carving soapstone, creating a vine and flower headpiece, or a host of other activities. Make plans to stay for lunch, which will feature authentic North Carolina barbecue, vegetarian offerings, and our famous strawberries and cream for dessert. Parking and admission to the event are free. Event parking is located at the Eubanks Park and Ride between NC 86 and Mill House Road, on Eubanks Road and shuttles will be leaving approximately every 10 minutes. Tickets for activities will be for sale at the Faire. All proceeds from May Faire go to support the Emerson Waldorf School general fund which in turn supports the many field trips and events held by the classes."
