Strings of lights and strings of multi-colored cloth flags were hung above the cultural hall floor as part of the decoration. Liz's sister, Rebecca "Becca" told me that she and Liz cut each piece of cloth, edged them and sewed them together in these long strings.

As you can see the tables will be covered with multi-colored table clothes.

Kristi and her girls were busy, preparing floral arrangements for each of the tables and for other locations in the hall.

That tall woman in the background with the grey hair is Liz's grandmother Woolf. She and her husband, Hans were there, busily helping, full of good humor and friendliness. It was nice to meet them.
