Several presentations and activities are planned to engage participants of all ages to celebrate the Year of the Sheep, aka year of the Goat or Ram. From 1 p.m. to 2 p.m., traditional Chinese Lion dancers and drummers will shake up the Valencia Library as colorful lions dance to a lively drum rhythm, followed by the Chinese Sign Song performed by the SCV Chinese School.
Then, from 2 p.m. to 3 p.m., storyteller Barbara Wong will present a Chinese tale, followed by a musical performance on the melodic Ehru and song from rising new teen sensation Maddison. An encore Chinese Lion Dance will begin at 3:00 p.m. followed by a Chinese fan dance and student chorus from the SCV Chinese School. The celebration will conclude with a final Chinese storytelling session led by Wong.
Residents can also attend a free 30-minute Chinese cultural presentation in the Valencia library community room at 1:45 p.m., 2:45 p.m. and 3:45 p.m. A Chinese food truck and free crafts will also be available.
