Council, 111 Corry St.

The night will be filled with Arabian ambiance; showing pictures of famous landmarks and people of Jordan, Jordanian food, Arabic music, Arabic coffee, Arabian incense, artifacts, traditional Jordanian dress, and a Bedouin tent.

Activities include: a speech about Jordan , a story about living in Jordan, Arabic pickle sales, Henna Tattoo’s, and picture taking in the Bedouin tent.

“I am extremely excited at the prospect of being able to bring my culture and the beauty of Jordan, to the people of Yellow Springs,” said Snow, also a Miller Fellow working at the YSAC. “It is a great opportunity for them to better see that life in the Middle East is exciting and diverse.”
