Ms. Jacy Hardie (7th grade at Nishiyamato Academy of California) won the Big Community Kazari Design contest, held this past March.  Her beautiful art work perfectly matches this year’s theme; “Romance in the Stars.”

It will be modified to a feasible design, then the Community Kazari will be constructed with public participation, and revealed at the 11th Annual Los Angeles Tanabata Festival Opening Ceremony on August 9th at 5 pm.

Congratulations to Ms. Jacy Hardie!
