Where: Little Tokyo in Downtown Los Angeles

When: August 16-17: street fair and August 17: parade

    Hi Athena. I heard about this event last year from the mother of a young lady that had entered that pageant (not sure if it was Colleen's mother) and had completely forgotten about it. So glad you brought it up, I will go for sure this year!
