Solidarity for the hell with it, let's eat. Celebrate working-class solidarity with food, music and games at a May Day Picnic at Tenney Park, from noon to 6 pm. Bring a dish to pass and some good ol' fashioned blue-collar Joe and Sally Lunchbox values to lord over the despicable ruling class. Dahlias are not as popular as roses or orchids, at least not yet, but they inspire a similar sort of reverent following. See for yourself as Olbrich Gardens hosts its annual Dahlia Tuber Sale , 1-3 pm.
Easy riders have two ways to hit the road.
Take a walk on the wild side. And this evening, the Sierra Club Four Lakes Group is taking a full-moon hike on the Brooklyn State Wildlife Area segment of the Ice Age Trail. Beginners are welcome, no partners are needed. Speaking of 20 years ago in Milwaukee, back then the Piper Road Spring Band used to perform its spirited brand of bluegrass at the Mine Shaft and other local venues. The band is still strumming, although we confess we're not sure it hasn't seen a few changes in personnel.
