For a sweet new year
A child along Dempster Street offers fruit to a lion dancer at the Evanston Lunar New Year Celebration. Tangerines and oranges are symbols of luck and prosperity. The lion spits them back to share the good year with the crowd. “All the moves, all the techniques are martial arts based,” said James Wong, who was the head of the lion. He’s been dancing 30 years with the Seven Star Lion Dance Group. They’ve scheduled 12 dates this week. (Photo by Richard Cahan) Click on the photo for more images from Cahan and Joerg Metzner.
