CultureFest was muy festivo!

Here are a few pictures from CultureFest. It was a great event. Sometimes (read: Riverbend) events are just lots of work. CultureFest, which took place Saturday, didn't feel like lots of work, even though we were there from 9 to 7. Coolidge Park is a great venue for things like this. Everybody goes there anyway, but to have tents and food and performances going on just adds to the already pleasant energy.

We sat at our little booth talking to folks, listening to the range of music coming from the stage, and smelling the awesome food. I had some chicken tikka masala and a samosa from the Curry Pot, Chattanooga's newest Indian restaurant. Jency had some Thai stir-fry, but I forget where it came from. Both were awesome.

We heard Chinese opera, Japanese taiko, a bilingual drama act, and lots more. The music closed with this Isreali drummer who displays complete ownership of his many instruments. Simultaneously.

Sales were good for us, and we got to connect with the great people at GoFish, who also had a booth. So all in all, a great day! Here are a few pictures...
