These photos are from the September 16, 2006 Parade of Nations, in Hancock and Houghton. The parade formed up in Hancock, crossed the Portage Lake Lift Bridge, and then proceeded up Shelden Avenue, ending at the Dee Stadium. Inside the stadium student groups and commercial vendors offered a rich and tantalizing array of foods from their home countries and regions. A number of musical numbers were also presented. The afternoon concluded with a fashion show, featuring the many different costumes of the home countries of our international student community.
