The Latvian open house - it is a church sponsored event? It sounds like a great idea, but who attends - other Latvians? Or does it really bring a crowd of non-Latvians? Or is it targeted at involving new arrivals into the community?
ReplyDeleteExcellent questions, Liene! It's being organized by several organizations, including the congregation and the Latvian school. It's the first time for this particular event, so difficult to know how it will turn out. The past several years the community has participated in Montgomery County Heritage Days, when many different museums/historic sites are open, but those are always held at the end of June - terrible time on the Latvian calendar - right around Jani and beginning of Garezers/Katskili!
