ethnic month?

[scottobear]

Stuff happening in February this month in Fort Lauderdale. Couldn't they spread it out a bit? flipside, there's yummy food of every stripe available. :) Sakes... Melting pot, indeed. I don't even need to mention the Brazilian, Cuban, Finnish and Hatian elements that are a part of daily life, too.


Greek fest, African-American history celebration (I missed that one, it was last weekend), Canada fest, Irish fest, Italian fest, Seminole tribal fair, Texas chili cook-off, ren fest, mardi gras, Scottish festival ... I imagine that next month it'll be Belgians and People of Russo/Austrailain decent. Th elevel of diversity always impresses me.... I'm just surprised that so much is bundled into one small month!

The Germans get a month in September... not counting Oktoberfest.

CanadaFest? What would one do there? Sit around, eat poutine, and say Eh a lot? :)

*smirks* (Coming from a Canadian, I don't see all that much culture to have a fest about :P)

canadafest? in fla? why?

I dunno what they do for a "canadian" fest, but I'm sure there's beer involved.

well, we get a lot of 'je me souviens' in this area... beer and maple syrup!

I'll have to come down for the Scottish festival and see if I bump into any of my kin. :)

If its not Scottish, its CRAP!

I actually know a few Canada transplants in Florida. I guess they got sick of the cold and moved as South as they could. :)
