      (April 19, 2007) – In anticipation of Siouxland’s blossoming beauty, the Sioux City Lewis & Clark Interpretive Center will offer a May Basket activity from 1:30 to 3 p.m. Sunday, April 29 in the Discovery Gallery.

     People are invited to participate in the tradition of preparing May baskets as gifts for family and friends. The free activity will include all materials with instruction by Eileen McCormick. The activity can accommodate about 50 participants.

     “This will be a fun, work-at-your-own-pace afternoon for kids and their parents, grandparents and friends,” says McCormick who designed the Garden of Discovery wreathe that hangs in the Center’s atrium.

      The May baskets will be the first in a series of activities that focus on the use of flowers, plants and other natural materials for decorative purposes.
