Local Chinese celebrate new year

Camas — It is now the Year of the Horse, according to the traditional Chinese calendar, which means the year will be both demanding and rewarding — just like the delayed-but-fabulous Chinese New Year extravaganza recently hosted by the Vancouver Chinese Association. Hundreds of people turned out for the Feb. 15 festivities, which had been postponed a week due to heavy snow and which was still overwhelmed by heavy rain. Those who did turn up at Union High School were treated to two-plus hours of food, music, drama, dance and more. Learn more about the Vancouver Chinese Association at http://vca-usa.org.
