    The sounds of Armenian music, the high jumps of dancers and barbecue
    smoke filled Plaza Vaquero Thursday afternoon.

    The Armenian Student Association hosted the yearly celebration of
    the native culture.

    During the event the ASA displayed its national books and posters,
    giving the students a taste of Armenian culture at its best. The
    April Bookstore provided books and souvenirs to the club so that
    members could sell them during the event.

    The dancers from Vanoush Khanamirian dance school entertained students,
    faculty and staff members who joined the celebration. They danced
    with so much emotion and passion that members of the audience joined
    in the circle.

    "This year's Culture Day was a huge success and it was an honor for me
    to host it," Ani Chivchyan, the president of the ASA GCC said. "I'm
    so proud of our executive team and all our volunteers. Everything
    turned out great - we had such a fun time," she said.

    DJ Vahe entertained guests throughout the event, playing diverse
    music from his homeland.

    Hungry guests stood in line to try the famous Armenian barbecue
    made by students during the event, the smell of which captivated the
    surrounding area. Additional food such as salad, humus, and lavash
    were donated by local Armenian restaurants and stores.

    GCC president David Viar was also present at the event. He was
    impressed by the celebration.

    "It is my first time seeing this, and it is very exciting," said Viar.

    "I really liked the event."

    The next major event to be sponsored by the ASA will to be held in
    April, in remembrance of the Armenian Genocide. Interested students can
    attend the weekly meetings held on Thursdays at 12:20 p.m. in LB 220.
