Ghana Fest

May 9, 2011 I attended Ghana Fest on South Green in the Martzolff Complex. This was the third year for Ghana fest and the purpose is to inform others of Ghana's culture and give those from Ghana a chance to celebrate their culture. When I first arrived we sat down and waited for the food to be served. They had many different dishes, most had rice or noodles and meat. The food was delicious and I enjoyed trying a new cultures main dishes! After we finished eating President McDavis spoke to us about his visit to Ghana and how it opened his eyes to how great traveling abroad can be. Next there was a fashion show.Most of the clothing worn were brightly colored and patterned tunics. The most interesting part of the evening were the ladies who performed a traditional African dance for us. The wore the tunics similar to the ones I previously described as they performed. I really enjoyed being able to be apart of this cultural event and it really went along with some of the things we have discussed this quarter.
