Everybody had a great time at the City Farmers Market Mid-Autumn Moon Festival on Friday and Saturday this weekend. We kicked off each night with a lion dance performance followed by various Asian cultural performances. Later the lions went around taking pictures with the people, and then they had us parading around festival grounds with the MC’s.
This was Grandmaster Lin, Chien Hong’s son, Xixu Lin, Chih Long’s first visit to the U.S. headquarters school (August 2022). While here in Atlanta, he hosted two seminars for the adults and a special class for the kids. Also he helped us with training during regular classes and supported us at a couple lion dance performances.
Saturday we performed for NACA (National Association of Chinese Americans) at Canton House Restaurant. Notables such as Mayor Andre Dickens and Former Georgia State Representative Stacy Abrams were in attendance. It was an honor to be asked to open their event!
