To commemorate the Year of the Dragon, Oyster Bay Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino and his colleagues on the Town Board joined several Asian-American community organizations to host the Town’s annual Lunar New Year Celebration at Town Hall. The event featured traditional Chinese decorations, cuisine, and performances, in addition to a ceremony honoring leaders of the Asian-American community in the Town of Oyster Bay.
“Together we celebrate the Year of the Dragon which represents health, strength, and good fortune,” said Supervisor Saladino. “This celebration provides the ideal opportunity to celebrate organizations that work tirelessly to educate residents in our community about Chinese-American culture and foster multi-cultural understanding.”
