Two RV Gypsies: Full-Time RVers

PAGE 2 OF 2 - AT THE NC CHINESE LANTERN FESTIVAL

Then it was time for the show, a showcase of Chinese culture with 3 performances a night, include martial arts, traditional dance, acrobatics, drums and more. It was very nice, but Karen Duquette did not take a lot of photos. Everyone stands up outside to watch the show. The person shown below somehow had his face mask change several times simply by quickly turning around. Amazing. There was also a hula hoop show and more.

Since the two RV Gypsies were among the first people to enter into the festival, there was not a lot of people in the area before the show. And since by the time the show came on, they had seen half of the area, they wish they had waited to see the show during its last performance because after the show was over, it was really crowded.
