2ND ANNUAL INTERNATIONAL CULTURAL CELEBRATION

The college’s second annual international cultural celebration was held on April 19 and by all accounts, was a huge success. It is estimated that over 450 people attended at some point during the event. The focus of the day was around water, and representatives from Water Step, a non-profit that helps people in developing countries find safe water solutions, were on hand to share their mission and their work.

The day began with another moving flag ceremony presented by the Hopkins Central Junior ROTC. Music and dance performances by Sankofa African Drum & Dance, Xochitl-Quetzal Aztec Dance, and Tuatha Dea punctuated the day while MCC students and faculty, high school students, and members of the community walked through the quad and reviewed the various booths and presentations set up to highlight social and cultural ideas from other nations.

Thanks to the day’s sponsors (Madisonville Rotary Club, Tyson Foods, Hopkins County Tourist & Convention Commission, Murray State University-Madisonville, and First United Bank) for their support and participation in providing this opportunity to our students and community friends.
