This weekend Kenyon and I went with some new friends to the annual Multi-Cultural Fair at the local college.There were booths of goods from different parts of the world. Stages with various performers...singers, dancers, fashion, etc.
As with any community event there were also rides and games. Kenyon was fascinated with the bucking bull, but wouldn't give it a try.
This reminded me of the annual event in Kansas City at Swope Park...though it wasn't nearly as big as that event.
My highlight of the day was meeting a man from Uganda. We talked about the uniqueness of his part of the world. The Good: perfect weather. the largest and tastiest avocados I've ever seen and a tasty mango, avocado smoothie (don't knock it until you try it). The Bad: matoki (some like it, I do not) and political/tribal unrest.
It was a great way to spend a Saturday afternoon. The only thing that would have made it better, sunshine. It was a little colder than I would have liked.
These fairs are available in many cities across the US. Have you been to one? What was your favorite part?
just Sheri, multi-cultural
