This last Saturday, Arisa and I headed out to St. Ignaitus High School to attend the JACL’s 40th Japanese American Holiday Fair. I had a errand to run at Micro Center and so we were running a little bit late. We got there probably about 2PM.
By the time we got there, it was packed. I’d say close to a hundred folks or so were there. The Mame Taiko Drummers were already in action. At the entrance to what I assume is the cafeteria, there were booths with a silent auction, origami, and other things like soap sales.
It was our first “Japanese-American” event, as opposed to JANO, but I’m glad we went.
JANO has released more information on this year’s Annual Sakura Picnic. Once again it’s a potluck picnic and the the Consul General from the Detroit Consulate will be in attendance.
If you are interested in Japan, or meeting with Japanese, or just looking to have some fun and eat some really good Japanese food, feel free to come along. It’ll be held at the Brookside Reservation of the Cleveland Metroparks (see map below for location)
