Today the Display Wagon was at the Multicultural Festival at Ushers Ferry here in Cedar Rapids and was well received by the small crowd. I did hear one negative comment from a man from Hungary, but he was quick to apologize, though he followed the apology with a racial joke. His wife beat me to the punch when she smacked his shoulder. Par for the course, he claimed to have no idea what he had done to deserve such treatment.
We gained another five signatures in the guest book and several new emails to the list, meaning we have educated more people who are interested in continuing our work, helping promote the organization and the Wagon.
Our next display date is October 8th at the International Russian Guitar Festival at Cedar Valley Bible Church in Cedar Rapids. Educational Director Ciuin Ferrin will be giving a brief lecture on the history of the Romani and an overview of the current conditions in Europe. After, there will be a concert with Dr. Oleg Timofeyev, Vadim Kolpakov, and others.
We hope you can join us.
