This “Family Fun Day 2006” is in coordination with all the leaders of various Filipino organizations in the CNMI. Regular meetings are being conducted to ensure a meaningful and fun day for all.
The day will start with a simple ceremony and presentation of Filipino talents from different organizations and individuals. There will also be a singing and dance competition for children ages 7 to 12. The afternoon will be for various Filipino organizations to facilitate indoor and outdoor games for kids, adults and families like obstacle course, sack race, family goes to market, paper dance, bring me contest, egg relay, longest line and many more.
