“НА ШЕ ЖИТТЯ”, ЛИСТОПАД 2017 WWW. UNWLA .ORG 25 ДІЯЛЬНІСТЬ ОКРУГ І ВІДДІЛІВ СУА A Celebration of Community Branch 95 Participates in Kingston Multicultural Festival by Marianna (Szczawinsky) Crans Br 95 Display For the 4 th year in a row, Branch 95 (Hudson Valley Region, N.Y.) has been an active participant in the Kingston Multicultural Festival held in Kingston, New York on the first Sunday in June. The festi val billed as “A Celebration of Community,” is hosted by the Reher Center for Immigrant Culture and History and is run by their committee Chair, Geoff Millerand his wife Harriet. The event is designed to be a fun - filled, family - oriented celebration of the tapestry of ethnic groups who live in Hudson Valley, a showcase for a rich multicultural heritage. The festival is usually held at the T.R . Gallo Park, a lovely tree lined park on the Historical Kingston waterfront. Alas, this year (as last year) rain forced a change of venue and the event was held at the Andrew Murphy Community Center. Fortunately, the move did not diminish the fun. Colorful pennant s and international flags were brought into the facility to emphasize the interna- tional flavor of the ev ent. Multicolored bunches of helium balloons also added to the festive nature of the day. The Festival featured international foods that included Greek gyros and baklava; Jewish knishes; Mexican tamales and burritos, fried fish sandwiches, and fried dough ; Italian cookies and desserts; and assorted flavored ices and drinks. Also featured was music and dance from many cul- tures (Native American, African, and Indian Drumming; Eastern European Klezmer music; Italian, Mexican, Greek, Celtic, Ukrainian, and even Hip Hop youth dancing!)
