International Fair

On Friday evening of the 20th anniversary weekend, we had an International Fair downtown in one of the city squares. Each country that is represented at LCC carried their flag, and we all marched down the street accompanied by a marching band and police cars. We had to delay the march for about half and hour because of rain, but the rest of the evening, despite being cold, was very fun! 

Once we got to the square, there were tables set up with candies, pictures, figurines and cloth from each country, and people walked around to learn about the different countries. There was also a big stage set up, and several different groups from the city and from LCC sang and danced. It was a very colorful and educational evening. 

 Lining up to begin the march right after the rain stopped - I love this picture!

Marching across the bridge with students, faculty, staff, board members, and all the beautiful flags

 I represented Slovakia for the evening because the student was not able to attend.
