Painted Post, NY - Corning Chinese Association (CCA) hosted a 2016 Chinese New Year at Painted Post Middle School on Feb 6, 2016. More than 300 Members from the local community from 0 to 103 year-old celebrated the Year of the Monkey with us.
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.
