Festival of Nations FINISHED

This was the coolest place to go 30 years ago. Danish cream puffs from girls wearing wooden clogs, Russian language lessons, folk dances. All European foods, stalls and events except for 1 or 2 African countries. So they would give you a fake passport, and as you go around trying ethnic foods out and stuff they would stamp your book. Really cool as a kid. The event also had chess masters that would play 1 against ~30 boards set on a bunch of tables in a square. It costed $2 dollars to play. You make your move before the 1 guy comes around, if you stalemate or win you get the pot. Well I checked into this event a few years back and I swear it looked like 90% african countries. So I passed. Just seen this.

They must be side by side with those Lutherans in Minnesota who brought in and are still bringing in all those Somali's using government money. Its so inspiring. Such diversity, such cultural enrichment, oh my virtual signalling skills need work.
