These are photos from the Chinese New Year celebration at the CCC (Chinese Cultural Center) in Chamblee, GA. After helping carry the dragon around to different shops in 1997, I participated in the festivities as part of the dragon for the Year of the Tiger (1998) and as a lion for the Year of the Rabbit (1999). The dragon is manned by students in the Georgia Tech Chinese Student Association. I also carried the dragon in the 1998 Macon Cherry Blossom Parade. | |||||
