    ARLINGTON – Most Arlington residents – current and former – have fond memories of the May Day Festival, dating back to their childhood.

    Hugh Cunningham, a 93-year-old Arlington native, remembers being pulled in a wagon by his sister as they enjoyed the parade. Hilary Halford, another Arlington native, used to ride her pony to the parade and dance in the traditional maypole ceremony. Alice Wims, the Arlington Event Committee chair, said it was a time to enjoy good food, wings and ice cream, and sit around with friends and family, from little kids to great grandparents.
