Daily Shots: Cay Mai's

I stopped by the Reliant Arena this past Saturday to help HI-15MM set up for their booth at the annual Tet Festival. Tet is the Vietnamese celebration of the Lunar New Year. It technically will begin on February 7 this year and generally coincides with the Chinese New Year. The group would be selling calendars as well as cay mai's (plum-flower tree) and all the proceeds will go to orphanages in Vietnam. My duty was to help put together as many cay mai's as I could. One of the members had already chopped down branches and all we would need to do would be to glue on flowers, leaves and attach the li xi's (lucky red envelope's). I'm not sure how much they sold for but I wish I bought one for myself because they looked so PRETTY!
