   A local church is posting an traditional English Plough Festival.  There'll   
   be such traditional stuff as hot dogs and Pepsi...bring your garden tools   
   such as rakes or riding mowers.   
      
   I'm not familiar with the practice.   
      
   I see on Web:   
   "'Plough Sunday' (first Sunday after Epiphany) : Traditional rural UK,   
   blessing of the farmer's plough in church, with prayers for a good harvest.   
   Mumming plays accompany celebrations"   
      
   Is this one of them things that sporadic villages do sporadically when they   
   need a few more tourists or is it some regular, fairly fixed as to date &   
   place thing?   
      
   Do you know any songs directly associated with it.   
      
   I'd rather resist the temptation to go to this thing and view all the truly   
   authentic practices.   
      
   Thanks,
