The sounds of Armenian music, the high jumps of dancers and barbecue
smoke filled Plaza Vaquero Thursday afternoon.
The Armenian Student Association hosted the yearly celebration of
the native culture.
During the event the ASA displayed its national books and posters,
giving the students a taste of Armenian culture at its best. The
April Bookstore provided books and souvenirs to the club so that
members could sell them during the event.

The dancers from Vanoush Khanamirian dance school entertained students,
faculty and staff members who joined the celebration. They danced
with so much emotion and passion that members of the audience joined
in the circle.

"This year's Culture Day was a huge success and it was an honor for me
to host it," Ani Chivchyan, the president of the ASA GCC said. "I'm
so proud of our executive team and all our volunteers. Everything
turned out great - we had such a fun time," she said.
DJ Vahe entertained guests throughout the event, playing diverse
music from his homeland.
