Today was our area's annual Bok Kai Festival!  Okay... what's a Bok Kai and why does it have a festival?  It's a Chinese festival with a parade that's been performed every year for the past 125 years.  If you want to know more about it, you can visit their site, http://www.bokkaifestival.com/.

At any rate, here are a few pictures.  Here is a boy who was part of a percussive musical group that was playing along with a dragon.



One of the food vendors had a neat statue of Uncle Sam.



These are the dragons that the percussionists were playing in front of.



Finally, this dragon was the centerpiece of the parade.
