757 Event:ODU Intl Festival oppurtunity: 3/27/11 please come!

Looking for performers, vendors, and such for ODU's International Festival   We are having our annual ODU International Festival  on Sunday March 27 (it is free) from noon to 5pm at the big Ted Constant Center on Hampton Blvd. Over 33 countries participate and it is for the entire community as well as ODU students. Everyone is welcome!   I would like to encourage you to perform for us too- on a b ig stage. (We do not pay you however.) I love your drumming sessions, or spoken word, singing, dancing etc. There will be several African American tables, I believe. If you wish to apply, please call the office of Intercultural Affairs at ODU at 683-5080 (Lesa Clark is in charge) and ask for the web site of the Intl Festival, then apply online . You must apply by March 14, in about two weeks......   We also need more displays-African, African American, Arab, Muslim, Caribbean, Latino etc. Do any of you have beautiful souvenirs from a foreign country, for example? or African American, Middle Eastern, Muslim or Latino artifacts? You would get one free table and two chairs. We also need more vendors : you would get one table free (with a second table for $11, I believe) if you are selling books, for example. Food vendors however have to pay a lot; call ODU for specifics on that please.   If you have any questions, email me. But if you want to apply to participate, the best bet is to call the number above. They can also answer your questions at ODU.   Merci, shukran (in Arabic),   Christine Hoppe Multicultural Alliance of VA, Secy.
