The first Asian Fair will come to Appalachian State University and
the Boone community tomorrow.
The fair is sponsored by Appalachian’s Asian Student Association
and will represent different Asian cultures, ASA President Serah
E. Chavda said.
“The multicultural community at ASU is being expanded right
now and we want people to be aware of our club, and aware of the
cultures that are already here at ASU, and to give those cultures
an outlet to express themselves,” Chavda said.
Chavda said the fair will include origami and martial arts demonstrations.
An Indian Dance Workshop will be provided for participants, Chavda
said.
In addition to workshops and demonstrations, the fair will have
Asian food samples.
Temporary Henna tattoos and character writing, Asian calligraphy,
will also be provided for a small fee, ASA member Juliana S. Wu
said.
“I think the Asian Fair will be very beneficial to the ASU
campus for a variety of reasons, one of which includes experiencing,
hands-on, different types of culture within the Asian community,”
Wu said.
“Hopefully it will be a success,” ASA member Kaonou
Xiong said.
“I’m excited because I can’t wait for other people
to explore the Asian culture," ASA member Thu Luong said.
"I’m looking forward to the martial arts demonstration
the most.”
The fair will be held in Blue Ridge Ballroom of Plemmons Student
Union from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m.
