The Norfolk, Nebraska Chapter spent the evening celebrating the Chinese Lunar New Year 2026 - The Year of the Fire Horse. The event was also attended by 10 representative friends from the Nebraska Chinese Association. It began with live music played with authentic Chinese instruments and featured a traditional dragon dance to drive away evil spirits and usher in a happy, healthy and prosperous new year for us all. Chinese inspired dishes were served in a red lantern-lit dragon pagoda. The dinner concluded with a mandarin orange illusion dessert, with this fruit being a traditional symbol of luck and happiness. It consisted of orange liqueur-soaked sponge cake surrounded with orange ganache, covered in white chocolate, all shaped and hand painted to look exactly like and orange. A truly international themed dinner!
