The latest installment of the City of Athens Sister City Lecture Series was a huge success!!!

People from all over came to see a "Bon Odori", which is a traditional Japanese Summer Dance!

Students from our sister city, Isahaya Japan, were in attendance as well!
Highschoolers from Chinzei Gakuin participated, and showed off their own dance moves.

Thank you to everyone who attended and thank you to the McMinn County Living Heritage Museum for hosting this spectacular event. ... See MoreSee Less
