Saturday, February 19th was International Fest here in Olympia. Our neighborhood consists of people from many places the world over and we celebrate this with an evening of food and information. Each nationality represented here in Olympia has a booth full of things characteristic to their country and everyone contributes national/typical foods to a pot-luck dinner.
It is very interesting to see what each country has to offer, especially those that we know little about. And by we I mean my family only, since many other people here know much more than we do about the world as they've either lived in many more places or visited many more than we.
Here are some photographs of the event:

Figuring out how the throwing and catching game will go.The rules are only known to 2- and 3-year-olds.

A few of the booths had trinkets, pencils, beach-balls and other goodies for the kids to play with. Between that and the running and noise-making, they were definitely kept busy. This gave everyone else some time to chat and visit all of the booths to see what was on display.
