and to have some dim sum while watching culture shows.
YOU WON’T WANT TO MISS IT!!!!
HOW DO I GET TICKETS??????? Come and get your ticket with a free lucky pocket (红包) in Usdan Lobby Wednesday through Friday 11-1pm.

Tickets at door: $6 each in cash (Feb. 20th Friday 6pm at Beckham Hall), only includes dinner and stamp sheet. Tickets are limited by 60 due to food and space constraint, so be quick!

More detailed introductions:
1. Games!
Tired of old ways to learn Chinese Culture? We do GAMES!
Test your response speed by playing Musical Chairs, or your tacit understanding with best friend by Acting and Guessing Charade. Or form a team and come for Chinese Knot Relay! Or to find out who is best at using Chopsticks by picking up peanuts and beans! Or… just to do some Calligraphy, Paper cutting and folding, and learn some tricky games with strings in String Figure!!!
COME TO OUR CARNIVAL AND YOU WILL HAVE ALL THOSE WONDERFUL EXPERIENCES! And more to be expected!
2. Food!
All right all right! We know you all like Chinese food. New Year’s Dinner will be served from 6-7pm. You can get your combo by presenting your ticket to our chefs. From 7-9pm, more games are coming but dim sum (desserts) and drinks will be sold.
