Rain Could'Not Dampen Picnickers
VANCOUVER -— Well, what can we say ? but, it rained. However, this wasn't enough to discourage about 600 “hard-core”
picnickers who, “rain or shine”, made up their minds to attend the
Annual J.UCA. Picnic here recently.
Despite the unpromising start, things sallied forth with enthu
siasm: weatherman, eat your heart out. Games, races and, of co
urse, good food provided for an all-round enjoyable time.
The committee members, especially, deserve a lot of credit and
applause for organizing a full afternoon, which seemed to make
the picnickers oblivious to Mother Nature’s supersaturated tear
ducts.
•Sincere thanks also go to the many donors whose
prizes contributed to an exciting draw.

"Koto no Kai" Participate At Cdn. First
VANCOUVER — On July 24, members of the Vancouver-Steveston Koto no Kai left to participate in the first annual Canadian
Multicultural Festival held in Ottawa. An all-day rehearsal was
held on July 25, and performances were held twice nightly on July
26, 27, and 28. The Festival was a very successful and enjoyable
one. An overwhelmingly large audience was present at each night’s
performances and showed great enthusiasm and enjoyment during
the entire show. There were numerous comments by the audience
about the Koto’s unique and distinctive sound. After our first per
formance, a GBC radio reporter came backstage to interview Mrs.
Kobayashi and commented on how impressed she was with the
group’s performance.
The most valuable and memorable part of our opportunity to
participate in the Multicultural Fesival, was that we were able
to meet and form warm friendships with so many different people;
as well as see other ethnic cultures besides our own. Working un
der a profesional producer who taught us much about putting on
a smooth and polished show was also a great honour and expe
rience.
As this was only the first annual Multicultural Festival held,
many more groups in the coming years will have the opportunity
to participate in future festivals. Although the Vancouver-Steveston Koto no Kai may not be as lucky as to be part of another fu
ture Festival, we know that any groups fortunate enough to be
chosen to go, will have just as enjoyable and richly rewarding an
experience as we hadr

Rain Could'Not Dampen Picnickers
VANCOUVER -— Well, what can we say ? but, it rained. However, this wasn't enough to discourage about 600 “hard-core”
picnickers who, “rain or shine”, made up their minds to attend the
Annual J.UCA. Picnic here recently.
Despite the unpromising start, things sallied forth with enthu
siasm: weatherman, eat your heart out. Games, races and, of co
urse, good food provided for an all-round enjoyable time.
The committee members, especially, deserve a lot of credit and
applause for organizing a full afternoon, which seemed to make
the picnickers oblivious to Mother Nature’s supersaturated tear
ducts.
•Sincere thanks also go to the many donors whose
prizes contributed to an exciting draw.

"Koto no Kai" Participate At Cdn. First
VANCOUVER — On July 24, members of the Vancouver-Steveston Koto no Kai left to participate in the first annual Canadian
Multicultural Festival held in Ottawa. An all-day rehearsal was
held on July 25, and performances were held twice nightly on July
26, 27, and 28. The Festival was a very successful and enjoyable
one. An overwhelmingly large audience was present at each night’s
performances and showed great enthusiasm and enjoyment during
the entire show. There were numerous comments by the audience
about the Koto’s unique and distinctive sound. After our first per
formance, a GBC radio reporter came backstage to interview Mrs.
Kobayashi and commented on how impressed she was with the
group’s performance.
The most valuable and memorable part of our opportunity to
participate in the Multicultural Fesival, was that we were able
to meet and form warm friendships with so many different people;
as well as see other ethnic cultures besides our own. Working un
der a profesional producer who taught us much about putting on
a smooth and polished show was also a great honour and expe
rience.
As this was only the first annual Multicultural Festival held,
many more groups in the coming years will have the opportunity
to participate in future festivals. Although the Vancouver-Steveston Koto no Kai may not be as lucky as to be part of another fu
ture Festival, we know that any groups fortunate enough to be
chosen to go, will have just as enjoyable and richly rewarding an
experience as we hadr
