Adorned in a traditional Georgian dress, 8-year-old Angelica Perov waved enthusiastically to her family as she marched along with her third-grade class at the Fort Vancouver National Historic Site on Friday morning. The Image Elementary School student was one of more than 1,000 youngsters who represented a myriad of countries during the 13th annual Children’s Cultural Parade.
