Attached is a flyer about a presentation of Romanian spring traditions and folk dance demonstrations on Saturday March 13 at 4 pm at the Coffman Memorial Union, University of Minnesota campus, Minneapolis, MN. Contact me if you would like more information or see www.hora-mn.org for more details about Historical Organization of Romanian Americans in Minnesota. Determined by the excellent turnout at our first presentation, HORA is happy to invite you to the 2010 first quarterly lecture. It will be a celebration of spring, following Romanian traditions through their journey to Minnesota. The first presentation showcases ancient and pagan customs such as Martisor, Babele, and Dragobete, together with Romanian Easter culinary and art traditions, exemplified with painted eggs. Originally a religious custom, Mucenici has become a baker's delight and will be sampled at the event. The second presentation highlights the interconnections between Romanian dance, music, and rhythms and the Balkan cultures that have influenced them. The dances of four regions - Moldova, Dobrogea, Banat and Ardeal are explored. Everyone is welcome! Admission is free and we invite donations, which will be used towards the development of our organization. The presentations will take place Sat., March 13 from 4 to 6 pm, followed by discussions. Light refreshments served. Romanian gift items, including religious and traditional Easter cards, will be offered for donations
