We chose Saturday with the local south philly community in mind. We may also occasionally throw a workparty on a Sunday, but it would be in addition to the one on the 1st Saturday. For the month of May, we do intend to throw a workparty both on the 1st Saturday (May 3rd) and on Sunday, May 4th.

So, enjoy these few pics and smile at the thought that soon we'll meet again to sift some dirt between our fingers in south Philly!
