It Happened!
The 2013 CAFAM Chinese New Year Celebration took place on February 16. It was a great success. The crowd was large, despite the weather and rescheduling. The dancing, live animals, food, martial arts, crafts, vendors, drummers, dragon parade, lecture, etc. were all very well received. Thanks to Patti Oldmixon and the entire crew who organized the event! And thanks to all who came to support us and enjoy the day!
