Knox Asian Festival 2016 Photos

Beautiful day, great performances, music, and costumes.  Free hand-held fans to welcome cool air.  Excellent event!  Such pretty fabrics - would loved to have seen the kimono show, but fortunately met this very nice kimekomi dollmaker. What a lovely smile!

Enjoyed a dragon and lion dance so lively it raised the hackles and barks of onlooking dogs. Sans photo, you'll have to imagine this: Young martial arts students slipped into ferocious furry costumes and climbed on each others shoulders, then glided, jumped, and tumbled around the stage. Separately, the boys and costumes brought no response from the dogs - but the instant the boys brought the creatures to life - fierce barks galore!
