The "Maibaum" (Maypole) is adorned by 12 hand carved crests. The first two crests are of the City of Frankenmuth and Gunzenhausen (Frankenmuth's Sister City in Germany.) Remaining crests are: Lumberman, Farmer, Butcher, Chef, Baker, Miller, Spinning Lady, Carpenter, Blacksmith, and Mason to represent occupations of past or present residents. Maypoles flaunt entrances of many Bavarian villages in Germany. |
