CASPER, Wyo. — Families from Casper’s Mandarin Dual Language Immersion program came together at Paradise Valley Park last Friday to mark the Mid-Autumn Festival, a widely celebrated occasion in many Asian countries.

The Chinese government listed the festival as an intangible cultural heritage in 2006. It was made a public holiday in 2008, according to China Daily.

The event, held on Sept. 29, witnessed an impressive turnout of over 100 attendees, ranging from kindergarteners to 10th graders. The families indulged in a mix of traditional Chinese and Wyoming treats, including steamed buns, Cha Ye Dan (tea eggs) and Wyoming tanghulu, according to event attendee Mei Chu Yang.
