ancestors by hosting a bazaar type event. Our current plans include the following: We will be offering Chicken Teriyaki Rice Bowl, Curry Rice Bowl, Fresh Fruit Salad and a Green Salad with Miso
dressing. The event also boasts a variety of games for kids of all ages including Ping Pong Ball Toss, Tic Tac-Toe and a Putting game. Inside the gym, we will be hosting exhibits including Sumi-E, Ikebana, Bonsai and more. Demonstrations will also be held on the stage. The highlight of the event is the Bon Odori or Bon Dancing to be held on the green.
