The Chinese New Year of Horse starts on Jan. 31, 2014. CAAL has planned two events to celebrate the Chinese New Year on Feb. 1 and 2.

In an email to members of CAAL, Peter Lee wrote: “This year’s event, to be held on Saturday, Feb. 1, at the Minuteman Regional High School, promises to be special. In addition to a wide selection of delicious Chinese dinner entrees and desserts, CAAL has arranged for an entertaining array of cultural performances.”

The banquet will begin just after 6:00 pm on Feb. 1. Dinner will be served at 6:45 pm. The snow date is Sunday, Feb. 2. Adult tickets for the show are $25 each, with children aged 12 years and under at $15 each.
