Latin-american Festival...

Also, while my mom was here our branch hosted a Latin-American Festival for the entire community. All Latinos, members or not, were invited and really, all people were invited. There was a dinner provided by our branch and then different cultural performances. It was a really fun night and we were SO happy with the turn out! There were hundreds of people there! All the work was worth it!
Here are some dancers from Peru:
