Here is the information for our event:

The Festival is co-sponsored by the International Student Services

crafts, displays, and talent and fashion shows.

"Perhaps travel cannot prevent bigotry, but by demonstrating that all
peoples cry, laugh, eat, worry, and die, it can introduce the idea that
if we try and understand each other, we may even become friends."
