Quoted Text
The Chinese Culture Center puts on a show involving Kung Fu and Tai Chi demonstrations, lion and dragon dances and a firecracker finale.
Adult and children who are martial arts students at the center put on the show, led by Sifu Lin.
There will be ribbon dances, sword demonstrations and mock martial arts fights.

This show becomes better known with each year, so if you plan to go, go early.
If you need a seat, getting there early is a must.
Seats are set up only in the front entry area, so most visitors stand.
It's well worth seeing, especially the children, who dress in dragon and lion costumes, perform Kung Fu moves, and wander the stage as little monkeys.
The drumming and firecrackers at the end bring in the new year with a bang. For our family, seeing this show is an annual tradition.
