Food & Items for Purchase

 

This is Ta-ri's largest event of the year, co-sponsored by the Office of Multicultural Affairs at Harrisburg Area Community College. Here's just some of the fun that is in store:

  • Food booth--The Korean-American Wives' Club has agreed to hold their fall fundraiser at the Celebration, with some of the proceeds benefiting Ta-ri as well. Come prepared to feast on bulgogi, fried rice, steamed vegetables, ya-ki mandu, kimbap, bin-da-tug (mung bean pancakes), fruit, and drinks. Kimchi will be available as well.
  • Chusok Story--Listen to the story of Sori's Chusok, then participate in our "On the Spot" Chusok interviews. Copies of this wonderful children's book can be purchased at the Celebration.
  • Performances--You'll get to see a number of songs and styles of music during the Celebration. Learn the mask dance and be a part of a special Chusok song called Kang Gang Sullae.
  • Hanbok parade--All are welcome to wear hanbok to this event, which will include some basic explanation of the traditional clothes and a parade. Some hanboks will be available to try on as well. Help is needed for this activity, both on the day of the event and in advance in terms of sorting and labeling hanboks.
  • Chopsticks Competition--Practice at home for this fun--and funny--activity.
  • Items for Sale--Books, ornaments, small drums, fans, and other Korean items can be purchased.

Here's how to Get Involved!
Volunteers are still needed for photography and setup/teardown.
We also need help with hanbok preparation and with the hanbok parade.
