With a banquet hall full of loyal readers, supporters, and dignitaries, Epoch Times staff celebrated the arrival of the Lunar New Year in Edmonton on Saturday, Feb. 6.
The Year of the Monkey was welcomed with traditional Chinese dance and music performances, traditional Chinese games, a 10-course banquet, and lots of prizes.
