Here in the western world, we celebrate our new year on January 1st. But in far eastern culture, its a little different.
The Chinese New Year is Sunday, and members of the Tri-State Chinese Culture Association are celebrating.
One event at Saint Paul's Lutheran Church featured a show that highlights some of the great things about Chinese culture, followed by a dinner celebration with traditional Chinese dishes.
If you're wondering, 2013 is the year of the snake. According to Wikipedia, the snake symbolizes intelligence, with a tendency to be a bit unscrupulous.
