(Clearwisdom.net) The annual East Bridgewater Art Festival was held on the East Bridgewater Common on June 10 2007. Besides dances, singing, photographs, and art and crafts by local artists, the organizers invited Falun Gong to demonstrate the exercises and teach people how to make the paper lotus flowers.

The Falun Gong booth attracted many visitors. People listened to practitioners clarify the truth and learned how to make a paper lotus flower. Children especially loved the activity. Some people went away with the lotus flower they had made and then brought back friends and relatives to the Falun Gong booth.

A demonstration of the Falun Gong exercises also attracted many spectators. A reporter from the East Bridgewater Express interviewed a practitioner, learned the truth about the persecution of Falun Gong in China, and said they would follow up on Falun Gong.
