Here is media release about the Northland Ethnic Festival that I hope you can and will share with groups that you think may be interested in either presenting or attending! Here is flyer from 2009, which gives a pretty accurate listing of who we expect again this year.
Thanks!
Music, dancing, crafts, displays and food from dozens of countries and ethnic groups make the Northland Ethnic Festival a true family and community event.
April 17th from 11 am to 3:30, at Park Hill South High School with no admission fee, people are invited to learn more about their culture as well as gain awareness and appreciation for other groups in our community.
Festival planning committee includes Park Hill School District, Mid Continent Library System, Metropolitan Community College-Maple Woods, Ethnic Enrichment Commission, and Platte County University of Missouri Extension, and community volunteers. Funding is from Riverside Tourism Grant and Platte County Parks & Recreation Outreach Grant.
Groups interested in performing on stage, having a booth to sell or display ethnic items, or prepare and sell food need to apply by March 5th
There is no cost to be part of the event, but all presenters and vendors are reviewed by the committee to insure diversity of ethnic groups and cultures are represented and fulfill the mission of the 7 year old event.
Applications are available at extension.missouri.edu/platte or by calling Sharen Hunt, 4-H Youth Specialist, at 816 270 2141 or platteco@missouri.edu
