VANCOUVER — Taiwanese exchange students from the King Car Education Foundation will perform Friday, along with their Evergreen school district hosts, at what has become an annual Chinese New Year performance.

Students from Columbia Valley and Hearthwood elementary schools and Shahala Middle School join the visitors for a 7 p.m. show at Union High School.

They will showcase the Taiwan students in traditional dances, kung fu, Chinese yo-yo demonstrations and musical instrument demonstrations of the ocarina, erhu and the pipa.

The visitors have run an after-school culture camp daily since they arrived in the district last month, teaching Evergreen students traditional Chinese calligraphy, dances and how to play Chinese musical instruments.

Friday’s performance is free and open to the public.

Union High School is at 6201 N.W. Friberg-Strunk St., a Camas address.
