Richfield Dual Language School Holds 2nd Annual Multicultural Fair

held its second annual Multicultural Fair to raise money for the school Saturday.

The event ran from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. and featured games, dances, music and food and refreshments from Glockenspiel German restaurant and La Loma Tamale, which offered Mexican food.

Each event and performance was located in a different part of the school. The fair was swarming with children running excitedly up and down the halls and from room to room. Though the rainy weather was not ideal for outside activities, there was an inflatable play house that children could bounce and play in outside of the school.

While general admission was free, tickets were available for purchase to participate in different games and eventes. Each game cost 2-3 tickets and the prizes consisted of candy, food and toys. There was also a raffle for different kinds of gift baskets that attendees could spend tickets on and a silent auction where attendees could win baseballs signed by different players of the Minnesota Twins baseball team.

In addition, attendees were able to view projects and presentations of different countries done by students at the school, take Salsa dance lessons, buy books discounted books and more.

Craig Wolke, who has been a volunteer at the event for the last two years, said, "The event is very popular ... [And its great that] all money raised goes to fund the school."
