International food tasting dishes up food, culture

The Annual International Food Tasting Party will take place 5.30 p.m., Saturday in the Student Center Ballroom.

Frances Gonzalez,  International Student Club sponsor, said the reason the club hosts the food tasting is “. . . to provide an opportunity to international students to cook their cuisine as well as to share their culture and traditions.”

The event is aimed not only at the student audience, but also at the community members. Around 400 people are expected to attend.

“There will be food, song, dance, and fashion,” said Gonzalez. Cultures of 15 countries will be presented.

Tickets are already almost sold out. As of Wednesday evening, there was still a limited number of tickets available, and can be purchased  from the International Student Club members, or from Gonzalez. She can be found at her office in the Gold Room or contacted by phone at 308-432-6381.
