2004 FCC Mid-Autumn Moon Festival Liang Li

The Greater Raleigh FCC (Families with Children from China) Moon Festival was held at Lake Johnson on the evening of October 2nd, 2004. The event grows larger every year, and this year there were over 70 families signed up to participate.

Back by popular demand, TACAS again sponsored the moon cake sampling and the "Moon Lady" shadow puppet show. In addition, there was an interactive dance demonstration led by Mrs. Bao-chu Chang and her dance students. Many enthusiastic kids from the audience came down to the stage and participated in the dance moves illustrated by Mrs. Bao-chu. After the dance, the shadow puppet team from the TACAS Youth Group started the animated story of how a lovely princess flew to the Moon Palace. Just when the story was getting warmed up the rain started to fall. But because the story was so interesting that many families stayed in the rain to watch the whole show.

All in all, it was a very nice Moon Festival and people enjoyed it. Some are even thinking about next year's event!
