Food: Asian appetizers and 3-cup chicken will be available onsite this year and are included in the ticket price. The planning team has lined up a delectable selection of tasty morsels from China Palace for us to enjoy!
Crafts: UT China Care will help with crafts. Make a keepsake for the Year of the Ram.
