PanARMENIAN.Net – Parents and kids can sample an ancient culture at
Taste of Armenia on Sunday, Aug 26 at St. James Armenian Church in
Evanston, IL, Highland Park News reported.
`It’s a leisurely afternoon for families of all ethnic backgrounds,’
said event co-chairman Gary Rejebian of Evanston. `It’s a celebration
of Armenian heritage and culture. There’s authentic Armenian food.
There’s a big selection of games for kids. There’s a really
interesting cultural program.’
That may be why more than 2,500 people attend the event annually.
This year’s event will feature excerpts from Silk Road Rising’s
upcoming play `Night Over Erzinga’.
`It’s a tale of losing and regaining ethnic identity,’ Rejebian said.
