Japanese Culture in Lebanon

Today we went to Japanese Cultural Day in Lebanon, KY. We arrived later than I had planned, both because of a late start and poor directions on the website. (It says to take a left turn at one point where we needed to turn right.)

We saw a koto performance.

Jeff and Emma participated in the chopsticks contest. The object was to see how many M&Ms you could move from one plate to another in 60 seconds.

Because we were late we missed some of the performances that I had wanted to see and missed trying any of the food we will have the opportunity to sample some Japanese food later - I won a gift certificate for dinner for two at Tomo in Lexington. A bit earlier during the doorprize drawing someone who I think was from Lexington won a gift certificate to a restaurant in Louisville. I should have tried to find him and ask if he wanted to trade...not because Tomo doesn't sound good but because going to a restaurant in our own cities would have been more convenient.
