Lunar New Year Celebration 

Written by Estero Bay News

Volumes of Pleasure Bookshoppe recently hosted the Cal Poly Lion Dance team to bring in the Year of the Fire Horse. It was the 24th year the business hosted the cultural event.  

Store owner Carroll Leslie, who started this event with her partner Barbara, was among the 300 people in attendance.

“The Cal Poly Dance Team blessed both the community and Volumes of Pleasure with an excellent performance that shared both tradition and dance,” said Mona McKelvy, who is part of the bookstore team. “The children in attendance were very excited to be able to interact with the lions.”

The Lunar New Year celebrations officially started Feb 17 and ended Feb 27. The year of the Fire Horse is a year of alignment, direction, and forward motion — meaning you are no longer shedding (last year was the Year of the Snake), you’re becoming.
