The two hour festival featured
countries around the world and the
event packed them in this afternoon.
This was the fourth straight year
for the festival, which was held
indoors this year.
The event included sickle cell
anemia, testing and screening for
high blood pressure.
But aside from the serious,
participants were able to travel
from Mexico all the
way to Scotland and a few easy steps
that could change their way from
tickets from colonial times
to being a part of this modern era.
And if you tired of eating, you
could, as some did,
engage in small talk with all
of the male contestants in the soon
to be held Mr. Black Dance
Contest.
They were on hand for the event.
The festival is sponsored by the
Bethlehem Community Sooner's
Neighborhood Council is held
annually to raise funds for projects
and equipment for underprivileged
children in the neighborhood.
The afternoon of entertainment and
festivities offered the community a
chance to get together and take
an economical trip abroad.
