Bad fortune was driven out of Olivette when high-energy and athletic martial arts students of the Nine Dragon Academy performed the thrilling Lion Dance celebrating 2013 Year of the Snake – Sunday afternoon February 10, 2013. Bad spirits left to make room for good luck in the New Year.
“The Chinese New Year celebration is centuries old. Families honor heavenly deities and
ancestors. This is the second year we’ve
honored and celebrated our customers and friends,” said Mary Deppe, Manager
Olivette Mobil Mart.
