The Fifth Annual West Virginia Dandelion Festival in White Sulphur Springs will be on Memorial Weekend, May 26-30, 2011.

 

dandelion

In celebration and appreciation for the determination of the dandelion.
The gutsy little flower fights its way through velvety lawns,
dodges mowers, and weed killers, and against all odds, 
reigns supreme as it blankets our village each spring.

Rebecca, I remember making bouguets of dandelions growing up.  For whatever reason we don't have many here in Spring.  It sounds like a fun festival.

Dear Rebecca -
Have you ever had dandelion wine?
Very famous home brew in my hometown!
Hope that you are well and happy -

Sounds like a great line-up for the long weekend and Festival. I wonder if they'll have any Dandelion Wine -oops I see Lynn asked to :) We've never had any, but have heard of it.

I totally love this post...how different our world would be if we would only embrace the lowly dandelion and stop fighting against it!

Wow, Rebecca...this is the first time I've ever heard of a Dandelion Festival! That actually sounds pretty cool, as I've loved dandelions since I was little. :)

Howdy and evening to you Rebecca

Rebecca, Dandelions sure do have real determination and have a lot of guts. They sure do stand up tall and say,

The Dandelions Festival in White Sulphur Springs sure does sound mighty fun to attend.

Have a good one
