The Year of the Tiger
BUTLER TWP — The Maridon Museum rang in the Chinese New Year with a celebration boasting food, drink, dancing and music on Friday night.
Supporters of the museum and members of the community gathered to celebrate and learn more about the Lunar New Year, which is a 15-day celebration in Asian culture.
2022 is the Year of the Tiger, and the vice president of the Maridon’s board, Cyndy Sweeney, said those born in a tiger year are of strong character.
“Each year we celebrate the 12 animals that paid homage to Buddha,” Sweeney said. “The tiger is strong, and each animal is known for a trait.”
