The Set-Up
On Dec. 7, the Maclay Culture Fair began to set up for their event during 3-A. Members left midway through their third period to meet up with the club leaders and discuss how they would be setting up for the event. As the meeting finished, members headed out to the courtyard and began setting up. Each country got its own table where members of the club decorated and laid out the food. Some of the tables had colorful streamers that represented the country’s flags and others had posters with fun facts.
Welcome to South Korea
MARC members Eva Yi, Leah Song, Rachel Bethke and Isabel McDaniel ran the South Korean table. They all worked together to create a beautiful table that showcased many of South Korea’s popular foods. Hotteok, japchae and kimchi fried rice were a few of the variety of dishes they were serving to students and teachers. When walking around the courtyard, all students and teachers could smell was the tasteful food made by these students.
Amazing Food
Another popular table during the Culture Fair featured food from Ghana. Members created an eye-catching poster with the colors of the country’s flag on it and some fast facts. On the table they laid out delicious homemade dishes from Ghana for Maclay’s students and teachers to enjoy for lunch. As word spread, more teachers and students came to their table wanting to learn more about the food.
Annual Culture Fair
During the Culture Fair, teachers and students walked around the courtyard learning about the different cultures and their food. While walking, many students paused and asked questions about what food was being served. Next to every table the groups set up signs that included some fun facts about the region the food was from and how much the food would cost. After choosing their food, students and teachers would make their way over to Mr.McCann and Dr. Fitzpatrick to pay for their food and support the club.
Homemade and Ready to Serve
The Culture Fair had four different countries represented around the courtyard. A popular one was the Indian culture table, full of many traditional and popular Indian dishes. Members in charge of that table were serving homemade mango lassi, samosa’s, curry and many other dishes. These are all very popular meals in India that Maclay students and teachers now get to have for lunch. The table was also decorated with a poster that informed students with many interesting facts about India and the food they were selling.
