Please describe milestones achieved during this reporting period: rdth The Lunar New Year festival took place on February 3and 4, 2017. The two-day festival held at the Mandarin House Banquet Center (8008 Olive Blvd) featured performances, lion dances, and vendors. A parade was also held on Saturday, thth February 4.The event also included a 10-course banquet on February 10at LuLus, Mandarin House, and Wonton King. The banquet was sold-out at all three restaurants. The EDRST funds were spent on program development, permits, security, entertainment, decorations and supplies. We secured a generous donation from the Mandarin House Banquet Center to use their facility for the weekend. The goal of the event was to help promote the Chinese culture and Olive Boulevard. The event was successful but may be better as one-day event instead of a two-day event. % Complete:100%complete Budget Performance: EDRST Approved Requested this Previous Funds Cash/Non-Cash MatchRemaining Activity FundsQuarterRequestedExpended this QuarterEDRST Funds Lunar New Year$15,000$15,000$0$0 6040 Additional Information: Neither the Chamber nor Create Space applied for funds for a Lunar New Year in FY 18.
