<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>As if we weren't all already busy enough, I
would like to remind everyone of the Fall Festival at the Japanese Gardens in
the Fort Worth Botanical Gardens this weekend.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>The festival is Saturday and Sunday and there
numerous events going all day both days - origami, Japanes calligraphy, raku
pottery (and they usually have the kiln on site), poetry, wandering minstrals,
dance demos, martial arts demos (karate, Japanese archery, iajitsu and sword
cutting demos), tea ceremonies, and of course, sushi.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>This is a fun event, well worth the couple of
bucks admission - if you have the time and a love of the Far East, give it a
try.</FONT></DIV>
