February 20th is Chin National Day, it was celebrated locally last Saturday. The photo shows a group performing the traditional bamboo dance…with wood as bamboo poles are difficult to find in Iowa. The event kicks off what could be called our Late Winter Ethnic Festival. Next up the Welsh, then the Irish! Columbus Junction is a fun town!

If you’re a college student looking for an internship, spend the summer in Columbus Junction! Check http://columbusjunctioniowa.org/community-development-center/ for more information.
