Near 400 members of Corning Chinese Association (CCA) brought festivities to the local community on Feb 21st. at Painted Post High School in celebration of the 2015 Lunar New Year, also known as the Year of the Sheep, as well as the Goat or Ram. Sheep (goat, or ram) is among the animals that people like most in traditional Chinese culture, which has the characteristics of gentleness and calm, and therefore, heralds a year of promise and prosperity.
The evening started with a feast prepared by local Chinese restaurants, followed by a series of performances prepared by the talented families and friends of CCA members, which represents both the traditional and modern Chinese cultures. Corning City Mayor Rich Negri and numbers of Corning Incorporated leadership members joined the celebration.
