A CELEBRATION OF NATIONS AND SPORTS FEST
This exciting activity will showcase and celebrate the diverse international mix of neighbors in Alachua County and vicinity. The event will also include an International Food Fest in addition to the sports and cultural performances. There is also a formal educational component--A Black History & Cultural Brain Bowl for high school students and an International Words Spelling Bee for middle school students. Each participating team is encouraged to be a “Team of Diversity” (team members of different race, heritage and socio-economic status to the extent possible). Finally, the Celebration will also give local businesses and organizations the opportunity to offer their products and services and thereby boost their annual revenues. We expect to draw at least 1,000 visitors to the event plus the athletes.
