Enter the Year of the Ram

On February 19, the world will usher in the Lunar New Year of the Ram — the Wood Ram, to be specific. The wooly beast (also known as goat or sheep) is known for his/her creativity, artistic ability and kind-hearted, compassionate ways. 2015 is the year to contemplate your accomplishments and focus on bringing peace and harmony to yourself and those around you.

The Wing Luke Museum kicks off the year this Saturday, February 7 at 11am. Family-friendly fun includes Lion Dances, a visit from KIRO7’s Monique Ming Lanven and activities throughout the day.

On Saturday, February 21 from 11am- 4pm, the entire neighborhood joins in the celebration with cultural activities, parades, a food walk and an arts and crafts pavilion for the kiddos. The main stage will feature Dragon and Lion Dancing, taiko drumming, Bollywood dancing and a costume parade for the little ones.

For treat-seekers there will be more than 30 restaurants participating in the $2 Food Walk (view menu). Grab a passport at the Info Booth,  collect stamps at each destination, and when you have 5 or more, enter a drawing for a chance to win a prize. 1st place receives two international round-trip plane tickets! 2nd place wins two round-trip tickets to a US destination.
And come visit us at Momo! You can meet our handsome new friend (name to be determined – we are open to suggestions!).

I need a name!
