You know, there isn’t much that needs change.. I think a lot of the events could be better planned out. Everything always seem to be so last minute and they alway’s have such bad parking!!! I think they like the whole let’s park in the mud idea..
But overall I love all the Hmong new Years and it’s great that were all still able to enjoy culture even though a lot of it is fading so fast…
One last thing… they should have more sports event for HMONG WOMANS!!! Were just as good as any HMONG guy out there… Just thought I get it out there…
Have a great day!!
