Very cool X. I remember hearing about GHFC back when I lived in WA, but never got up there to experience it. Thanks for letting us experience it vicariously.

These pictures speak to some of the best things about Canadian multiculturalism: inclusivity, plurality, and a whole lot of fun!

I thought of you, with the lion dance, CMcG, when I saw the thread.

Sounds like fun.

Hey! Good coverage.

"Perhaps no group spoke to the modern mixing of cultures better than the Gung Haggis Fat Choy revellers who wove in and out of the action Sunday morning".

Nice article, there Xman. Alas, it was a pity that the journalist called them dragons, instead of lions. Bugbear knew better!

Ever since I first heard about Gung Haggis Fat Choy I've thought the idea was just phenomenal. I would love to go to your Burns Night someday.
