These members of the Terrace and District Multicultural Association were
having a good time recently putting together pinatas up at Northwest Com-
munity College in preparation for Multicultural Week, Feb. 14-21. The
bulbous papler-mache objects are filled with candies and suspended from
the ceiling, creating a game in which blindfolded children swing at them
with sticks. This Latin American tradition is guaranteed to keep the kids
amused at the Association's annual international Potluck Dinner.

Every Sunday evening from
now until Feb. 14, pinatas are
being made in Room 211 at
Northwest Community College.
A pinata is a Latin American
paper mache figure, commonly
used at festivals and celebrations
aS an amusement for the young
people. It is ornately decorated
and formed to look like a piece
of fruit or a comic character,
and is filled with small prizes or
candies.

The pinata is hung from the
ceiling with a rope, which can be
raised or lowered at will. One
child is blindfolded, given a long
stick and told to hit at the pinata
in order to break it and allow the
goodies to fall, The other

children form a circle around the
blindfolded child, out of harm’s
way. They cheer their friend on
and wait impatiently for the can-
