New venue, same ol’ fun at Asian New Year Celebration

Photos and story by

The Southeast Center’s annual Asian New Year Celebration was moved down Division Street to Warner Pacific College this year (Monday, Feb. 18) thanks to bond construction at the PCC location. But the fun and excitement was still there as hundreds of attendees witnessed dances, singing, drumming and interesting speakers as well as visit arts and crafts booths and consume tasty food.

Unfortunately, I didn’t hear about this event until after it was over (via PCC Facebook). Who should we contact to get more information about next year’s event?

Simon,
There is an event page: http://www.pcc.edu/about/events/asian-new-year

Also, make sure to keep an eye on the pcc.edu homepage. Major events like this are usually featured for a few weeks before they start.
