Diners served themselves and ate at tables or standing up since diners outnumbered the chairs. The children worked on a mural on a large sheet of yellow paper hanging in the back of the room. Drummers and dancers appeared in front of the mural and entertained with music and dance from Africa, Ecuador and Cuba. The event was co-charied ny Karen Frishkoff of Harlemville and Carline Seiede of Kinderhook.
