The Festival is coming!

So much going on these days!

Snow in VT is melting finally, after one of the record heaviest snowfall years ever!

Countdown to the last day of class... EVER (well, undergrad) is on... 2.5 weeks left!

Just got my notice of acceptance to stay in the US for work for one year! Wooo!

The Potatoheads are still up to no good down in the Baja... check it out here.

This weekend, Saturday April 5th, is the 2008 Festival of Cultures put on by the Sara Holbrook Community Center! Awesome family friendly event to celebrate the cultural diversity in Burlington (and beyond) that makes this community so vibrant. There's going to be unique, ethnic presentations, art, food, dancing, music and more. Face painting, henna tattoos and crafts for kids! Admission is by donation and everyone is welcome.

Local celebrity host of Vermont's own Late Night Saturday, Tim Kavanagh, will be emceeing from 10:00 a.m. - 11:30 a.m. and the opening address will be at 10:40 a.m by Burlington Mayor, Bob Kiss.

They are also launching the kickoff to the Penny Fundraiser this weekend at the festival. The Sara Holbrook Community Center will be joining the King Street Youth Center in an effort to raise ONE MILLION PENNIES (or $10,000... $5,000 for each Center) The money raised will go directly to each center and the kids are going to have input as to how it is used. The going joke is that the kids are trying to get a swimming pool behind the Center. If you have ever seen behind those tight quarters, you will know that's highly unlikely! Oh little dreamers! So bring your pennies to the Festival this weekend to help kick off the Penny Fundraiser!
